Trail Overview

This smaller section features tight, twisty trails to the south and sandier terrain toward the north. Recent logging has loosened the terrain, creating areas of deep sand. Riders should watch for deep whoops and hidden roots, particularly in the sandier stretches. This trail is a key connector between the north and west loops and provides access to the nearby MCCC trails.
