Land OwnerTVA
New school trail design meets old school feel. While you will experience a level of bike optimized design,
this trail offers some of that twisty tight singletrack and exposed rocks/roots from days gone by. Expect
the climbs to be a bit steeper than Mill Creek but still very attainable.
The Loyston Trail network is maintained by TVA and AMBC, please send trail reports and down trees with a photo and map screenshot to [email protected]
