This is the complete bittersweet "loop." It's mainly in the culverts below neighborhoods. You'll find some wood features, a surprising gap jump if you follow this direction (near the end) but it's definitely worth a trip for something a bit different if you're in the area.

Very fast flowy trails with a few jumps and techy sections. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. Riding clockwise is the best and is about 4.5 miles long.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
