I live over in Hampton cove, would love to come check out these trails, but unsure if I have access to them.

Check out Mountain Man that starts at the very top. DH mountain bike trail down to Big Bluff Trail then down to waterfall and Blake’s cabin is a great run.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
