Description: http://www.mc-mncppc.org/trails/trails_maps/trailmap_pdfs/black_hill_trails.pdf The 4.3-mile Black Hill Trail is asphalt surface for most of its length, but the mid-section of the trail (6-mile RT) is natural surface and is steep and rocky in sections. The rest of the trails in the park are natural surface. There are several trailheads from different parking lots around the park. Use the .pdf map to see where the trails lead. I would rate this as intermediate b/c of the rocks and roots in certain sections of the Hardrock Trail. VERY FUN RIDE!

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by TangoTeamLeader on April 5, 2009
This is the second ride of the season for me. It was nice and dry already. It had some climbs and rocks, but nothing very technical. The paths have been cleaned nicely for hikers and horse-riding, so do not expect any jumps or logs to hop. Overall, it is a nice, quick ride. The best thing about it is that there are so many trails you can make it into as long or short of a ride as you would like.

a fun ride - make sure that you don't get off the trail onto the paved path that goes around senecca lake. i definitely recommend the hard rock trail and field crest spur, although stay away when wet, because other than the usual responsible mountain biker reasons, they can get and stay really muddy under all the tree cover and just not be fun.
