Mountain Bike
This trail has plenty of switchbacks and connects to several trails in the Bald Mountain area including Bald Mountain Trail and Warm Spring Trail. The River Run trail is a great descending trail, though be careful because some portions of the trail will be occupied by hikers. There is plenty of wooded sections, and as the trail goes back and forth through the woods, there is a nice break from the summer sun.
