Fast trail, once it dives into the thick woods there are a few logs that you can drop off of and get some aid but they can also be rolled over.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Worth riding. Not very wide, skinny trail, that resembles a smooth drainage ditch that you can easily flow through at +25mph. Super fun “chill” trail, can really grab some speed

      One of the fastest trails in southern michaux
