Mountain Bike

This trail descends from the fence corner at the West end of Batman and continues down to Lyon's Creek Parking just off Lyon's road. The top of this trail is only a couple hundred yards from Buckskin Morgan making it a great connection with Batman or Buckskin Morgan. If you want to connect it, you'll have to hop a fence at the corner or go through a gate just a little further up the trail from the corner. The fence separates the National Forest from State land. If you do go through the gate, please be courteous and close the gate properly to keep any livestock on the right side of the fence.

The trail itself is gradual and windy. It's perfect for a nice leisurely ride, going up or down, or if you add just a little bit of speed it becomes an exhilarating ride with great tight corners.If you're familiar with Buckskin, this trail is like a tighter version of that without the rock.  The canopy is in pretty tight and full on most of this one and if you go in the early morning, the smells of the forest are incredible.

Towards the bottom, you'll find one more gate that you'll need to go through. Make sure to close it back properly. From there, you ride an old forest road out to the parking area, with all the speed, ruts, and bumps that you'd expect. The ease of the climb coupled with the gradual downhill make this a great ride for beginners and the tightness makes it a great ride for any other level. Simply put, this is a fun trail.

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.

This is a pretty fun section. It's an easy climb and a pretty tight and twisty decent.
