Difficulty

This is an easy trail, some lowland areas have ruts and used rubber tracks placed to help but there were no issues to cross when mapped. Some areas have "floating bridges" or boardwalk-type construction to get access through low areas. Trail width is the only reason for the difficulty rating of 2.

Area was past peak for fall colors but still plenty of yellow/gold from maples at the time of the ride. Trails were great, some dust later in the day but morning was great.

Trail is in good shape. Dry conditions.
