Formerly comprised of multiple smaller segments, this trail is now the main contiguous loop at Horizons Park. It is accessed via taking a left turn off of the gravel Access Trail that leads in from the parking lot. Riders wishing to bypass the first 0.75 miles of the loop may continue straight through the end of the gravel access path where it crosses over a small bridge.
