Echoing previous reports, this is not rideable at all. It is okay on foot, but the trail is pretty overgrown and I found a tick crawling up my shirt about halfway through. Wear long pants!

Haven’t been able to ride this all year due to major overgrowth, but she’s all clear and trimmed up now (thank you)! There’s some solid ruts in the near the middle portion, but those have been there for a while now. The trail is flowwwwing!!

This is a hiking only trail. I did not know this until I was descending the trail. A local hiker told me this and I confirmed this by seeing signs on both ends of the trail.
