Description: Follow the driveway back to the Reith center, park & ride your bike through the grass past the south side of the center to the tree line where you will find the begining of the trail. At the trail head you only go about 8 feet before you make a sharp left & are on a ridge with a drop off to your right. Follow the trail through until you reach a small paved road. Go left & follow this road for 35-40 yards where you will see a stone path leading up the hillside to your right, go up the stone path & turn right on the millrace trail. Follow this trail (roughly 200 yards) until you see a stone path & foot bridge leading down into the woods on your right, it is easy to miss if you are not watching for it. Continue on following this trail until you reach the Millrace trail & Dam where you can take a breather then follow the trail in reverse back through to the trail head. This single track trail has some very dedicated mtb'ers that are committed to upkeep & trail improvements. There are a handfull of log hops, one drop off at the end of the foot bridge (can be walked) a couple very challenging hills, a root garden section & a small rock obsticle. In all I would consider the trail a very nice beginer course with enough challenging parts to be fun for a more advanced rider as well.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by treky92 on May 7, 2012
This trail is not worth your time. It is basically a dirt path through the woods with a lot of foot traffic and nothing that seems challenging at all. There was also a lot of the trail in disrepair

This is not worth your time. There are more hikers and other traffic and the trails are not truly singletrack, but more of dirt paths through the woods.

i wasn't very impressed with this trail. With trails like Winona Lake and Potato Creek only 20-30 mins away, I will not be returning. The trails were very easy, I don't have a problem with that. I live to go fast and take tight corners as much as the next guy. But I don't like is trails in disrepair. There were constantly downed branches and overgrowth so thick it was confusing to find the trail.

Similar Trail: I rated this trail a 5 because it's pretty sweet to me as i'm basicly a beginer & there isent another real mtb course within 25-30 miles of me. Potato creek is i suppose similar to this trail though longer & it's one way & also a bit more technical with rock gardens & such. But the good old Goshen MTB trail is a diamond in the rough.
