Do not, under any circumstances, try to ride this loop. It says multi-use, but it's definitely not bike friendly. Most miserable bike ride I've ever had. The trail is overgrown, very rutted and uneven, no signage, and I had to climb over down trees it seemed like every 50 yds. I can't even count how many times I lost the trail and ended up trudging through thick brush trying to find it again. Honestly if it wasn't for the GPS on my Trailforks app (*not an ad*), I might still be out there. Also had to wade across a creek at one point. Moral of the story: if you try to ride this loop, you're gonna have a bad time.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
