Trail Overview

Trail 52 is an easy, 2.2-mile route that begins at its western end where it intersects with Trail 60 and winds eastward to Trail 87. The trail follows a very gradual grade with minimal elevation change, running on wide black dirt through a scenic corridor lined with rock walls. It features sweeping, banked corners--some of them blind--so caution is advised for oncoming traffic. The surface remains consistently smooth with virtually no rocks, ruts, or obstacles. Passing several other trails along the way, Trail 52 serves as an excellent access route throughout the system.
