Description
Newt Jack trail begins where Newt Jack road ends. The road once continued where the trail is now, so it is a rocky and eroded compared to the majority of the Turkey Springs network. One might call it the little brother of Powerline. A good bail-out from the outer loop or Round Park Ave, Newt Jack heads back to the trailhead at "Gate 5" by Upper Rim. Otherwise, most use it merely as a connector, choosing the more enjoyable singetrack options in the area.
