It is old forest road, but is intermediate/difficult due to the variation of terrain. It needs to be ridden in to create a trail tread. Take the mountain bike. The mile markers on the trail and direction signage are good. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

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.
