Trail Overview

Continuing west from the intersection with Stave Mill Falls (intersection K), this stretch of ATV trail offers a wide, rocky path with scattered loose stones and plenty of overhanging branches to duck under. Big mud puddles appear regularly--some with go-arounds--while the terrain transitions to a downhill slope with ruts and holes. After passing the L intersection, the trail narrows and sidehills across the mountain, bringing tighter corners, exposed roots, and the occasional cut-down log. The highlight of this section is a shelfy rock obstacle between the trees: a layered, technical climb with multiple line choices to navigate a series of 6-inch ledges on a steep slope on the edge of the trail, also lined with roots. You'll go up this obstacle if riding east to west, and down it vice versa. The trail ends at the intersection M.

Difficulty

This is a moderate ATV trail due to one technical rock obstacle made up of 6 inch ledges, but the rest of the trail is easy, fast and flowy.
