      Primarily a mountain bike trail system developed on the northeastern section of the USACE Arkabutla Lake project. Private property lies just north of the trail system. Please remain on the designated trail at all times. Familiarize yourself with the associated trails and layout at Area 51 before leaving the trailhead. The Area 51 trails are open to Class 1 E-bikes, trail running, and hiking. Motorized vehicles, ATV's, or horses are not permitted on the Area 51 trails. Please be courteous to all trail users and be aware the trail system lies on public land that is also open to hunting during appropriate seasons.

      Caution: If you plan on hiking the trail, allow a minimum of 5 to 6 hours for the entire Voyager loop. There is more elevation change than common to the area. There are no water sources on the trail. Pets are required to be on-leash by the USACE.
      Primary Trail Type: Cross-Country
