TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by EpicComp on July 29, 2009
Very easy trail, but some (2) good downhills and some climbs. Bring your bush axe- hey can we get some love for trimming the briars off of the trail in the late summer. Ride up the hill past the sign down to the pond. A second section is behind the bridge to the right. A good 2.5 mile loop.

Mostly easy terrain with a few more technical sections. Connects to the Ives trail which is far more challenging but I'm not sure bikes are allowed on it. Lots of wild berries ripening this time of year.
