This is probably the hardest trail in the park with a challenging switchback climb. Don't let this scare you off, though It is a great trail with great scenery. You will encounter roots and punchy climbs so bring your legs! The state park has this listed as black but is probably more like a dark blue!

Disclaimer

Please note: Mountain bikers ALWAYS ride clockwise as shown on the map. Hikers ALWAYS ride counter clockwise per park rules!
