 Not maintained and a bit dangerous. One spot I almost was bucked off because the grass hid a bit of a hole.

 Don’t waste your time taking this trail! Stick to School of Rock. It is overgrown, not flown and zero fun.

      Avoid this trail on a MTB (and hiking). We took it by accident…it’s not maintained and it’s kind of dangerous!

      This trail is unfinished or really overgrown. Not great for mountain biking.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
