Trail that branches off the main Parkway Loop that exits at the Fish Hatchery parking lot. Trail is similar to others in the Parkway - cut into the existing forestry. As with other trails in the Parkway, the start is not clearly marked, but once you get on it, it's simple to follow. A few obstacles, ups and downs, and generally easy to follow. It's a great way to finish the ride and get back to the car. This trail really should be ridden the direction as shown in the app - ending in the parking lot. There are a few blind turns where riders really could injure themselves should another rider be coming the other direction.

Access Info

At the bridge with the house on the right, stay right instead of going across bridge. Continue on the gravel trail until it begins getting steep. Near the top of the first climb, there is a trail that shoots off to the right. This is the proper trail.
