Trail Overview

Trail 62 is a three-mile route that winds through a scenic section of forest, with wet rock walls lining parts of the trail. It's a narrower path with a mix of embedded and loose rock, and one side features a rut about a foot deep that riders will want to avoid. The trail gradually ascends and wraps around the hillside, with shelfy sections and sharper corners as it follows the natural contour of the terrain. While the elevation change is minimal, there is potential for significant mud and puddles in the spring, especially in lower-lying areas. Overall, it's a fun and scenic section of trail that is great for newer riders or just an easy cruise through the forest.
