These are well established off-road motorcycle trails. There are some moderate hill climbs and some shorter rooty grunts. It is a sandy area (fine sand) in drier weather it gets loose. After rains the water drains into the sand quickly.
This is part of the Ganaraska Forest you are required to have an annual or day use permit to use all their trail systems.

Trail is open but there is lots of sticks and the occasional tree still across the trails due to the windstorm in Spring 2022. Glad to be back out...
