Flow Trail Segment 6 is a 0.72-mile mountain biking route in Soquel Demonstration State Forest, California, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It is part of the Flow Trail, a series of connected trail segments. The segment is rated moderate and is an out-and-back, with a total length of about 1.4 miles, climbing from a low point of 788 feet to a high of 1,069 feet. 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 roughly 650 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Tractor Trail, a hike, and Flow Trail Segment 5 and 4, both mountain biking routes, all lie about 0.2 miles away. Soquel Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 2.2 miles off.
