Mountain Bike
The start of the trail is located in the rear of the park and is not easily seen from the parking lot. The trails, while not very difficult, are at times very narrow and not well marked is some spots. Some spots are muddy but for the most part it is all hard dirt or sand. At a point you will cross Pleasant Valley Road and the trail continues through woods behind peoples houses and loops back to the road. Hunting tree stands are not an uncommon sight. Overall a fun little trail which has other trails branching off of it and also has room for expansion in the future. Will become much better when it gets more travel. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
