Mountain Bike
Blackrock starts from the western most trailhead for Panthertown Valley off of Breedlove Road. From there it climbs steeply up and over a miniature mountain, with some options to access some great views. The climb is steep and challenging, but the bomber descent down the backside is more than worth the effort you put in getting up it! Courtesy of Singletracks.com
