Access Issues
Foot traffic must ALWAYS yield right-of-way to bikers. Trails are directional by day and foot traffic must always travel the opposite direction to bikes.

Description
This is primarily a biking trail. Be respectful of other users (on this trail bikers have right of way) The trail, located on the west side of the system, brings plenty of ups and downs. Although mostly smooth, the trail has some elevation change with numerous short climbs and descents. It winds through the woods on narrow singletrack and in places has incredible views of the lake. There are a few sections that are rocky.
