Trail Overview

This wide, winding ATV trail twists through the forest with nonstop curves and flow. The surface is mostly shallow ruts filled with small, loose rocks, while most of the bigger rocks and leaves have been pushed off to the sides. Water bars form big rollers along the way, and while most of the trail is easygoing, a few sections have embedded rock slabs and more loose rock that add just a bit of challenge. There are a couple of long descents that are steeper and looser, with scattered roots and rock that could surprise riders used to the smoother trails in this system. Braking control is important here. Big hairpin turns make things fun as well. The trail is really dug out from the forest floor, sitting below a 1-foot-tall dirt wall.

Difficulty

This is one of the rockier trails in the area with more embedded rock surfaces and loose chunks of rock, but overall remains easy and manageable for most any skill level.
