Flow Trail Segment 2 is a mountain biking route in Soquel Demonstration State Forest in California, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The segment is short, about 0.23 miles one way, and the whole out-and-back trip covers roughly 0.46 miles with a climb of about 118 feet from a low point of 1,492 feet to a high of 1,635 feet. It is rated moderate. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 80°F with only about four wet days, and October highs near 83°F with similar dry weather. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Segment 3 of the Flow Trail lies about 0.1 mile away, and Flow Trail Segment 1 and the Ridge Trail are each about 0.3 mile off. Soquel Creek, a paddling spot, is about 2.2 miles away.
