Eight Bee trail is a classic old school mountain bike trail. Constructed by the Adirondack Velo Club, Eight Bee has some roots and rocks and an occasional tight turn into a steep climb. While the climbs are not long they are technical. The trail surface has more clay than over on the Peck Forest trails and is noticeably more slick after wet weather. Eight Bee is a good way to get back to Peck Forest via "Return to Red" trail.
