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
More Information
Add ResourceNever 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.
