Our most popular singletrack trail, starts at the Carlton Reserve parking area. Check out the map on the kiosk and then dive right in. Over 9 miles of fun, twisty riding make it the centerpiece of the trail network. There are signs to guide you forward, bailout points along the way, bypass trails, and picnic tables for taking a break. Riding out on the Boldlygo trail and returning on the marked Carlton Red trail will give you an 12 mile loop (with plenty of opportunities to add miles along the way). Just follow the arrows on the Red trail back to the parking lot.Don't forget about our newer loop SOB just across border road.Its an additional 5 mile loop. You can find the Boldlygo trail on MapmyRide.com and on Strava.
