 Looks like there hasn't been any maintenance lately. Weeds are over grown. Lots debris on the trail. Did not see Loop 1 or 2 today.

 Tree down just before you enter pine farm the first time. Leaves are starting to fall, that makes the trail a bit more challenging.

      Back side of loop 3 has some black and blue off shoots. I didn’t try them as I was with my kid and wasn’t sure where they would dump me out. Nice ride!

      Trail was riding nice. Lots and f spider webs because we where the first to ride in the morning. Great scenery and the pine tree forest was a lot of fun as well!!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
