Description
The course itself is interesting. It is laid out in four sections, each connected by common gravel backroads. The course has a set direction, marked at its entry ways. A lot of sand in some spots, evil, evil sand. Several good jumps and one awsome downhill. The twistie's are quick fun, but do require some technical ability. One awsome twistie incorporates a section of tree nubbies that is just sick. Like any trail scout this one before you ride it hard, downed trees, particularly on the downhill section, are always a possibility.
The sand makes for quite the workout. The course is through some thick vegitation and can be very buggy. The way it is evenly broken up at intersection points allows for good measurment and flexibility in your ride.
The course is intended for Aquestrian, Cross Country and Mountain Biking alike, but when hunting is in season it is clearly posted for their use. That said I don't recall ever seeing runners out there, and horses are mainly on the backroads that connect the trails. The one REALLY BIG NO-NO IS TO RIDE, DAY OR NIGHT, DURING DEER HUNTING SEASON!!!

Review: Fun ride. Nothing crazy, just fun.
Review: What I love about this trail is how fast you can ride. There are some tight curves, but many of them allow you to keep your speed up. There are some awsome rooty downhill sections that keep you on your toes. Overall fun ride, great work out, and a beautiful forest.
Review: a great ride, but it gets sandy fast. the best thing about this trail is you can ride it in the rain and its almost perfect.

Review: This is a great little trail. I agree with the above description, but I don't think I rate the aerobic level that high - maybe a 6. About 7 miles around and can be really fast when the sand isn't too loose. Lots of fun and most of us can tough out 7 miles.
