Its a pretty simple trail, theres really no elevation changes or tough obstacles besides a few log jums and some small ramps. Theres one creek crossing. There are three loops you can ride with a total of 12.4 miles. There are a lot of tight turns on the longest loop so its hard to gain some good speed. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
