Park at the Underdown Recreation Area off of Copper Lake Road. The route is gives you a taste of what the Underdown is about. Plenty of hills to climb as it crosses the Ige Age National Scenic Trail several times. The route takes locals about 1.5-3 hours to complete. The Dog Lake Shelter is at mile 3.4 and is a great place to stop and have a snack. The route is doable after repeated days of rain, but avoid the wooden features if wet. The features with GripStrips installed can be ridden when wet.
