Description
Bi-directional, shared use trail through open forest and farmland that is a mix of singletrack and doubletrack with some downs and ups. The trails weren't built with sustainability in mind so some of them will have a rawer feel than some of the other trails in the area. While the trails at Jug Bay Natural Area aren't very busy, they are shared-use and there will occasionally be equestrians and mountain bikers, so be aware.
