Description: The trail is almost all singletrack (depending on where you start) and takes you along a steep edge overlooking the TN River. There are some decent climbs for the area and the trail is fairly rocky and is very well marked with signage and highlights. This is the home of an annual MTB race and his groomed by a small but dedicated group of riders out of Jackson and the surrounding area.

Awesome trails. Pretty technical with some good climbs and descents. Not really for beginners or children but there are "emergency exits" well marked in case you bite off more than you can chew. I wouldn't recommend a basic (read: Wal-Mart)mountain bike or you will break it. Just ask my buddy ;) . A great workout for intermediate to advanced riders. If you don't like these trails, something is very wrong with you. My Cannondale Caffeine 29er Lefty sure loved it.

I am shocked that I was the one who had to add this trail given its relative proximity to both Nashville and Memphis. I went out there yesterday on a beautiful November morning and was very happy I drove the 1.75 hours from my house to get there. The leaves have all fallen now and lay on the trail, which makes navigating a bit more difficult, and the going more cumbersome. It is very apparent that the trail is designed well with some good views and some flowy sweeping sections mixed in with some small jumps and tight turns to keep you awake. A bit reminiscent of sections of the LBL north south trail (not Canal Loop). I met some guys down there who are out of Jackson and who maintain the trails and throw the Mousetail Race every year. They told me there are roughly 8 or so of them, sometimes fewer, who maintain the whole trail. If you see them out there, tell them thanks for the gem. Although I only have ridden this trail once so far, and it was ridden under less than ideal conditions (debris), the trail definitely appears to be a worthwhile trek. I give it 4 stars for the West TN area.
