Description: Something for all skill levels, from easy open flowing log roads, more difficult double-track to very difficult singletrack. The state maintains approximately 5 miles of logging road and double-track while locals maintain the 5+ miles of tight and technical singletrack. This multi-use, stacked loop network is open to hiking and cycling only. ATV and Horseback riding is prohibited. The singletrack is marked with ribbon and way markers. An out-and-back singletrack will direct you to the base of Barry's Shortcut and Sara Gray's Loop. From there head back into the woods up Sara Gray's Loop where the single-track loop begins. This densely wooded loop crosses the main trail in several locations allowing you to explore many different variations.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by ibike2 on February 5, 2012
Wow! they have done an awsome job on these trails. Some of the best mountain bike trails arouond. Everything rolls nice, no hike-a-bike. The trails are as fast as you want, like riding a giant roller coaster. It has been awile since I have mountain biked, but after heading out on the trails I had to come back for more. I was lucky enough to ride them three times in one week, and ready to hit them again. The guys that built these trails pat yourself on the back. At the age of 53 these trails have fired me up again. See you all on the trails.

This trail has been totally redone by one of the best trail guys in the southeast. They have done a great job and you will love it. It's easy enough for beginners but fast and challenging for experienced riders. It has great flow. Well worth the drive.
Similar Trail: Brown County, Frech Lick.

The course is shut down as of May 19th 2009. We drove an hour only for disappointment. Don't waste your time or at least don't make the mistake we did and call before you go.
