Description: There are ridiculous, lung-burning, quad-thrashing climbs. All but the truly fittest will walk. Now, this makes for some rip-roarin\' downhills. The woods are pretty and you\'ve got more vertical relief here than anyplace in Ohio. Unfortunately, these trails are very popular with equestrians, so expeck lots of deep hoofpronts as horses don\'t seem to care if the trail is wet and how much damage they do.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by AEARLS on June 12, 2009
Time of ride 6-10-09 / 5:30-9pm… I thought these trails were awesome… We parked off of Lick Run Rd. and did Mt. Ives (M), (N), (O), (P), (Q), (R), (J), (S), (K), and (L)… Make sure you pick up a trail map or you will get lost. Bring lots of water and maybe a Monster because these trails will drain you quick. The climbs are HUGE and even if you can’t ride the hill up it’s worth the hike to ride them down. I didn’t see any horses or hikers. I did meet some cool MT Bikers during a pit stop at the car to pick up more water. They were locals and pretty extreme bikers. These guys called this place home and could climb these mountains that I had to hike. The only bad thing I seen was at the end of (L) on trail 9 the trail goes dead. It looks like a tree fell and no one had fixed the problem. We had a good 30 feet hike thru heavy brush to get to the rest of the trail. It is worth the trip…

The description is pretty accurate. The climbs are huge (especially by midwestern standards) and steep. All that work does make for some good downhill. The woods are very pretty. Unfortunately, this area is very popular with the equestrians, who dont mind riding when wet, so get used to having your teeth rattled out of your head by the deep, ever present hoofprints while you're dodging the poo piles.
