    CT DEEP

Mostly flat, smooth and fast single track trail with some exposed roots. The real hill is right near the bridge trail. This trail sees much less hiker traffic and is a good mountain bike alternative to the Main Trail. Despite the name, this trail is largely not actually a loop. It contains a short loop, but is mostly an out and back trail.

Access Info

Connects from the Bridge Trail a short way in to the second part of the Main Trail.

Disclaimer

Trail is both directions and prone to overgrowth. Pass with care.
