Easy trail with very moderate climbs. The trail is wide and groomed. This is an excellent trail for beginner mountain bikers. The name may change, but at the time of this post Laurel Tunnel is the working trail name because of the tunnel of mountain laurel that you ride through on this trail.

 Despite recent rain the trails were very ridable. A few muddy places but the trails drain really well.
