Description: Green's Lick is a quick, intense downhill thrill ride. Lots of good humps to get some air off of, and quite a few natural berms to ensure that you can keep flying down the trail. Fairly rocky, with tacky orange clay and a few creek crossings. One of the most advanced trails at Bent Creek. A great path to take from GoKite5's post on Bent Creek: "up wolf branch, up ingles field, up north boundary, down green's lick, up sidehill, up little hickory top, down ingles field, down wolf branch. About 11 miles."

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by afullsodacan on January 5, 2012
This trail is incredible! A definite 5 stars. Through all the climbing to get to this trail, I was really beginning to think, "is Green's Lick really going to be worth it?" and I can assuredly say YES. The whole time I was riding I had to really watch my speed and the brakes to make sure that I didn't get in too far over my head. There were a lot of jumps that I was able to get a little bit of air off of. The berms on the sides of the hills also added some adrenaline boost. In my opinion the difficulty of this trail is that it is not really technical (in that respect, besides some loose rock, it was just pretty flowy), but advanced in that it is quite steep, you have to watch your speed and know your limitations, and also have good brakes. Overall, the only negative thing about this trail is that it feels short because you fly down it. I wish it had been about 5 times longer. If I go back, I think I will ride this at least a couple of times.
