Trail Broken Boulder
Question: What is worse than "meh"?
Answer: this "trail", well it's not a trail actually, it's another forest service road.
As NERider said it does connect some fun trails with some other fun trails, but I recommend you find another connection.

Wet! Very wet and several flowing stream crossings, muddy in a lot of spots.

I rode it Northeast to Southwest and it wasn’t memorable. Not terrible but definitely not something you should seek to do unless it’s to connect you from one better Trail to the other like from Hemloc to the Bear Hill / hedgehog ledge group of trails

Trail Pitch Pine
Didn’t love this trail and it becomes an archery course about a third of the way in. I was rolling down a trail and rolled out and almost in between a notched compound bow and it’s target

From Podunk Rd. to Spruce Pond Rd, this is an underated fun little downhill blast. After that it flattens a bit and gets a little boring. If ridden right its a fun beginner to intermediate fairly wide trail.
