      While it is a little bit of a drive, Lacks Creek Management Area offers higher elevation and well-draining rocky, loamy, and loose soils. There’s literally a trail for everyone here. If you want a beginner flow trail, Lacks has that. If you want fast, steep, rocky descents, Lacks has that. If you want a flowy jump run, Lacks has that. In addition to all of that, Lacks also hosts primitive camping. So come camp for the weekend, relax, get eaten by a few mosquitoes, and have a biking adventure.
