Trail Overview

Ned's Knob is a directional, north-to-south singletrack trail offering a 1.4-mile gradual descent through tight, wooded terrain. The narrow path winds between small trees, with sections deeply troughed from wear. Riders can expect small roots, a few overhanging logs requiring ducking, and embedded boulder faces. Occasional shelves under a foot tall add mild technical features. Despite the natural obstacles, the trail is well maintained, with cleared logs and a smooth overall flow--ideal for confident riders looking for a fun, narrow descent.
