Description: Starting from the parking area/area with the sign for the trail, The trail
starts off with a tough climb (which is a sweet descent at the end).
Continue straight on the old road bed, and hang a right onto the trail
(following the trail signs). The trail is descently marked, and at one point
you need to hang a right on FS 92A, and then a left back onto the trail.
Follow it all the way around and you will end up back on the old road grade,
and descending that gnarly climb you started. Some of the sections of this
trail are freaking sweet descents (with lots of opportunities for hangtime),
and others are crazy steep climbs. Pick up Jim Parham's "off the beaten
track" for reference if you would like, but I would recommend finding a FS
map somewhere.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by GoldenGoose on July 23, 2010
Sweet double/singletrack trail that can be VERY fast. Trails are mostly old logging roads that have reverted back to their natural state. Don't get confused when the trail dumps you into what looks like a cleared farmers field. Just ride straight through it and the trail picks up on the other side. The trail follows the gravel road for a little while and then heads back into the woods. If you need a map, check natgeomaps.com and look up trails illustrated map #778. Great when done in combination with Sourwood and Lake Russel Loop.

Road this trail today first the first time. Very challenging and exciting! Can't wait to do it again.

I forgot to mention that the "singletrack" on this trail is not very single in most locations. The quality of the trail on the Lake Russell Loop and the Sourwood Trail is much better. However, there are some excellent gnarly spots and freaking fast downhills afforded by the Ladyslipper Loop!
