The Amadahy Trail is a a well-maintained and well marked, multi-use trail, frequented by hikers and mountain bikers. The trail traverses beautiful terrain with expansive views of Carter's Lake and multiple access points to the water.

The trail surface is generally hard packed, but with a lot of roots and rocks. While not exceedingly technical, the trail requires active riding and a good level of fitness if you intend to ride the full loop. There are no escape routes - it's either forward to the end or back where you came from.

Dogs are allowed on-leash.

Access Info

There is a small parking area at the trailhead, as marked on the map.

Disclaimer

The trail is bi-directional so be aware of approaching traffic, especially hikers.
