Trail Overview

This is a super fun dirt road that winds right through the trees, giving you a killer mix of shaded forest riding and some awesome, peeking views of Silverwood Lake down below. It's a great, scenic cruise, but you definitely want to keep your eyes on the dirt--there are some deep ruts cut into the road that'll catch you off guard if you're spending too much time looking at the water.
