Nice cruiser from Lake Hill (Community Pond) down to Willow Creek Road. Relatively smooth trail that is suitable for upper intermediate riders.

Access Info

Begin at the Cattle Guard on the south end of Lake Hill. Follow the road south to the ridge then trend east and down onto the flat. Shortly after you enter the trees a small drainage/stream/quagmire is crossed. Immediately after the stream turn right (west) and onto the Bovine single-track.

      There are a couple downed trees that will need to be removed. Didn't have a saw with me so I wasn't able to take care of it. Just take it easy.

      There's one tree that had fallen. Easy to get over. Trail still muddy, but not enough to stick to your bike. Just some muddy areas in the low spots

      Someone has gone through this trial and cleaned it and done an amazing job. there is now one tree that is hop-able and no more wood chips.

      2 fallen trees that are easy to hop, but lots of wood chips and branches toward the bottom from the forest service clearing trees

      2 felled trees. *Could* be hopped over if you are really good.
