Description: Once on 28, you will see a sign for the Kisatchie National Forest, then for Kincaid and Valentine Recreation areas. Both of these have trails.
I am fairly new to mountainbiking but in good shape from years of running. I have ridden a few trails before but nothing like wild azalea. We began at Valentine Lake and road to the Wild Azalea spur and back. This section of the trail was demanding...especially on the way back to Valentine...probably because I was pretty tired. Downhills were great but I only wish they lasted as long as the uphills. Had I known what I know now I would have tried other segments as this one was difficult for a newcomer to the sport. Look forward to riding other segments soon and improving my abilities.
I haven't rode here since 2007, but it was a great singletrack when I used to ride it every other weekend when I lived in Thibadoux, LA. You can get some speed up on this trail with some technical. Great singletrack for anyone!
The Wild Azalea Trail is a good one, but the trails that it connects are even better. The Kincaid Loop Trail has great scenery but is an even better ride, as there are gradual climbs and great decents. Also, the trail head at the East Boat Launch is great but tough, get ready for some tough climbs but rewarding downhills.
