Divide Trail South is a short, low-elevation mountain biking route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 1.5 miles, with a high point of 1,899 feet and a low of 1,853 feet, so the climb is only about 45 feet one way. It sits close to the Twin Peaks area, and the Twin Peaks Access and the Twin Peaks hike both lie about 0.2 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 78 to 79°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on 20 days a month. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The Slide mountain biking route is about 0.4 miles away, and the C-8260 route is about 0.7 miles away. For paddling, North Fork Porter Creek and South Fork Porter Creek are both within about 3.6 miles.
