Very peaceful trail. It was cool biking through the shade of the forest canopy. Didn't encounter any bugs except for one wood tick. Probably wouldn't have got that if trail was better maintained. Trail is in good enough condition that a small tractor should be able to mow the 3 foot high grass surrounding trail.

Rode trail May 8/17. First time on this trail. A cross-country trail with almost no ascents/descents of anything greater than 8 feet and nothing technical. Some really swampy sections but fairly easy to get around. Only had to get off my bike once to get around one section. A good trail if you just want to go for a cruise but don't expect much excitement.

Pretty solid trail and I had a blast riding it, just wish it was a bit more technical. The rating is spot on, I will return, thanks for posting.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
