Description: It's a network. pick up the bull mountain trails map printed by milestone
press as your crucial naviagational resource. Apparently this section holds
the best singletrack in the area, but i missed it and ended up on more of
the doubletrackish bits when i was going through this part of the network.
but what i rode was still stinking good! Please note that all of these trails
are being posted separately due to the fact that the Bull Mountain loop http://www.singletracks.com/php/trail.php?id=562 and the Jones Creek
Ridge trail http://www.singletracks.com/php/trail.php?id=1965 were posted
individually. Anyhow, get out and rip these trails up!

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

223M is the lower section of this same trail. On the national geographic map they're both named "Nimblewill C-spur." No one calls them that. Both of these sections of trail fall under the name "Turner Creek." From Golden Goose's review, it sounds like he missed the lower section. That lower section of trail is probably the sweetest piece of trail in the system, and is the only trail that horses are not allowed on.

AKA Nimblewill Branch trail. Forest service markers list this as 223L. Get an updated map at the Jake Mt parking lot. Or, maybe if Trek7k is really nice he might post a pic of that map on here for you. The southern terminus of this trail can be accessed about 3/4 of a mile north of the game check station on FS 28-1 on the north facing side of the road. If you are looking for true singletrack in the area, this trail, Moss Creek, the Bull/Jake connector, and Black Branch are where it's at. The north terminus puts you out at the west end of the No Tell Loop. About halfway through the trail, Jones Creek trail enters from the left. My suggestion is to ride it downhill from North to South. We ALL know downhill is more fun than up! This trail seems to avoid most of the horses in the area as well.
Similar Trail: Bull Mt trails or Pinhote sections 1-3.

climb up the sweet section of turner creek trails and come down the jones creek trail for a really sweet, all-singletrack loop with a killer climb and sick descent!

so today i got back there to ride the section of trail reputed to be one of the nicest pieces of singletrack out there... and yes, it was stinking sweet! however, it was only a mile and a half to two miles long. took 4 miles of riding to loop it. eh, its really good, but it's short.
