Buzzard Bluff is a 1.1 mile technical loop which is typically ridden counter-clockwise but can be ridden both directions. The marquee Overlook offers fantastic views high up over the Lake. Bikes should be walked around the Overlook as a pre-caution to the high drop off. Most of the trail is a fun flowy Singletrack with a few tech areas. Lake views are great.

      Great Loop with a fantastic overlook! Most of the trail is easy to intermediate with a couple of challenging short sections. Walking around the Bluff is recommended.
