Mountain Bike
All the climbing is on gravel forest roads. Then you descend on Cove Creek Trail. There are some cool rock sections up at the top and a few rustic log bridges about mid way down but overall this is a fast and very fun decent. Courtesy of pisgahareasorba.org
Stay left for a gradual climb that becomes nice long super technical. Just at the highest point turn left on to the connector to Cove Creek Rd, some fast rolling single track on the grown over road leads to a gravel road. Look for the well marked trail head to the Cove Creek trail and enjoy the mostly down hill fast and furious single track. Most of the creek crossings have new bridges as of this writing, with a few old log walking bridges still there. Courtesy of singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
