Description: This is a very nice in and out trail that is about 10 miles in length when starting from Key Bridge(5mi. in, 5mi. out). This trail is great for beginners but has a few mildly technical sections to keep you alert. There is a little bit of everything on this trail. Roots, bridges, small ditches, switchbacks(up & downhill), And logs just to name a few. This trail follows a large creek so it is very winding but still very fast. There is a little climbing, but for the most part is fairly flat so keeping a good pace is not very hard. This is a very popular trail in this area and is also used by hikers so keep your eyes open. My favorite part about this trail is the abundance of wildlife. I have seen deer, squirrells, rabbitts, raccoons, and a skunk just to name a few.

Good old trail, great fun, nice views. Enough to keep you honest. Nothing really technical. After the 5 mile point (Turkey and Stevens Creek meet) the trail is a little less traveled. Great in the fall. In times of high water portions of the trail may be flooded. A little more than 7 miles to the end. Cross the road to Wine Creek to make a longer ride.

Nice trail. Classic Sumter National Forest Singletrack. Nice views of the creek, good flow for the most part. Was rather wet, and had several large trees down, when I rode it.

This is a fast trail with some moderate climbs and a couple tricky technical spots. I went 48hrs after a huge rain -- and it was MUDDY. If it's stormed recently, give this trail some time to dry out. All in all, great scenery, cool creek crossings, and a lot of fun.
