Trail Overview
Trail E is a 1.6-mile clockwise ATV loop and one of the longer routes in the area, a great spot to do a couple laps to tack on mileage before your ride is over. Starting at the end of Trail D, it features more pronounced elevation changes, including a mix of steeper climbs and descents, sharper corners, and some narrower stretches. While the trail remains relatively smooth with light root and rock presence, fallen leaves frequently cover the surface. It contours along the mountain on a shelf-like path, with one abrupt switchback about halfway through, leading into a big climb up 200 feet of elevation gain. The final stretch returning to the trailhead is a steep, troughed descent and the most rutted section of the loop.

Difficulty
