Trail Overview
Trail 7 begins at the southern entrance near the "Shale Bank" sign and features a two-way travel section for the first 1.5 miles. It starts out wide with water bars, mud puddles, and shallow ruts, but quickly becomes more technical as it descends into a rocky ravine. Riders will encounter big loose rocks, steeper sections, and several small rocky stream crossings. This trail also provides access to the advanced White Whale trail. After the stream crossings, Trail 7 climbs steeply with more ruts and loose rock before making a loop on a somewhat easier path. The loop section is directional and should be ridden counterclockwise. A scenic overlook of the New River is located along the loop, offering a worthwhile stop.
