Description: From the trailhead ride approximately 1 mile where you can go either left or right. I recommend going right and riding the trail clockwise. Going left will give you a lot of technical uphill portions with roots and rocks. This trail is also open to horses and they do use it a lot, which is evident by the churned up trail in spots and adds to the technical aspect of the ride. There are numerous connector trails to bail out on or add to the distance of the ride. Warning! Lots of ticks during the summer and make sure you have spare tubes or patch kit and pump.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by heckmanlloyd on May 21, 2012
This trail needs maintenance. It is shared with equestrian traffic. They have rutted most of the creek crossings. The trails have been routed straight up and down hills. So between the horses and improper drainage, erosion has taken its toll on what could be a fantastic trail. I would not recommend this trail to anyone until they fix it. There was a washout so deep, you could drop my 29er into it, and not see it.

This was my first single track ride ever. It is very scenic and challenging. At 12 miles, it is a great workout. A lot of rocks, so drains well. Highly recommend if in the area. Stop in Oz Cycles as well. Great shop and lots of info on area trails.

Ridden counter clockwise is a killer. Lots of technical uphills with rocks, roots and mud. The downhills are fun. Looking at my elevation from my garmin, riding it clockwise would be a lot easier (ups aren't as steep). There is a right turn about 200 meters from the trailhead that would allow for a clockwise ride and avoid a tick infested area. Downfall? Horse traffic, which means horse p***.
Similar Trail: Honey Run or Bittersweet
