The trail is a 10 foot wide graded path that runs along Coal Creek. The trail is lined by trees most of the way, goes by a golf course, and is rather serene. It's not technical in any way, but will give you a chance to work on your spinning. Good ride to take with the young kids. There are a few livestock gates to pass through, and you may see a small herd of horses that are not afraid of bikers. The trail passes under the major roads in the area. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
