      Fun. This whole block of trails are all similar. Double track which means could be single track but is driven by small vehicles
      Almost flowy. Well built trails that handle water n are sustainable. Just not the best berm n jump design ive ever seen. Great beginner n intermediate rider trails. Great advance rider trail if you want to go fast n pedal a lot.
      The other side of valley has more single trak n bigger climbs. Do both for a big ride, is a very short pedal between the two.

      Very fun "flowcountry" trail. I think the (CC) direction in trailadventurer's video is the faster way, but nice flow on either. Thanks BST - another top-notch job!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
