Access Issues

Description
Sidewinder snakes through the woods. The trails can be done as one continuous loop or three separate loops; they're not directional, so watch for oncoming hikers and bikers. The soil is sandy loam and drains well when it rains. There's one spot down by the lake that gets a bit muddy, but rest of the trail should be good in most weather conditions.
