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.
