Trail Overview
BM 25 begins at the pavement on highway 52 at its intersection with BM 24, and climbs gently under the powerlines in an open section of forest with skies overhead. The initial stretch is wide, smooth, and very easy. There's a shallow stream crossing at Sycamore Creek--rocky but manageable--before the trail transitions into denser woods with a leafy canopy. From there, it becomes a shelfy path along the hillside, then flattens out through the forest floor. It accesses the BM 172 single-track, then continues with minimal elevation change until it meets BM 22 and 15. Overall, it's an easy access corridor with a few loose rocks, shallow ruts, and some hairpin turns, but nothing technical.
Difficulty
This is a intermediate route with minimal rock, ruts, steep grades, and switchbacks, but is ideal for average-skilled riders.
