      Hard to navigate at times and lots of spider webs between trees.

      Super fun trail system, but I would Not recommend it for the inexperienced rider. There are is a lot of features, including drops, rocks, roots, and bridges on the climbs and descents. The outer loop is fun, and the inner trails are great for shortening your ride. Overall, I love This trail and will be riding it more.
      P.S, keep watch for hikers, because there are many blind corners.

      The North end is a blast of chunky decents and reasonable climbs. The South end is a mess winding through the Disk Golf course and best avoided IMo
