Fox Den is one of the less technical trails At Smith Preserve. If ridden from the upper Steel entrance it is primarily a fast flowy downhill trail. If ridden from the lower Steel entrance it is a gradual climb. This is a kid/beginner friendly single track trail. Suggested route would be from the main parking entrance, head up Steel past the first Fox Den entrance sign all the way to the second Fox Den entrance sign and enter here.
