Lotsa Rocksa (Formerly Barking Frog) hangs off of the Hairy Toad Loop, and while it continues Toad's theme of rocky natural trail surface, it unwinds itself a bit, opening up the corners and coming out into a series of meadows, then diving back into dark cedar groves, crossing a wet woodland on a series of narrow boardwalks, before returning to Hairy Toad.
Even flatter than Hairy Toad, it's a great introduction to this type of riding if you aren't ready for the Toad yet. Just ride out on the Isle Royale ski trail which crosses the trail near its start and finish
