A number of interconnected, gently rolling dirt (red clay) roads that cross fields and woodlands. From the boat ramp area, a dirt road follows the gas pipeline for 2.1 miles to a junction with the main dirt road that leads 3 miles to a gate on the main highway. Single track spur trails lead out to the edge of the lake. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
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.
