Mountain Bike
The trail is a multi use trail. The singletrack intermingles on and off of the greenway and power line roads. There are short, intense climbs mixed with hammer down singletrack and a few rooty gullies to keep you on your toes. A good alternative to the other, densely packed or water logged trails. A very fun night ride. Very little signage, trail maps available at entrance. 5 dollar daily use fee, or 45 dollars annually. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
