The Hub for most of the riding at O-Hill. Is essentially flat around the peak of the mountain starting at the parking area at the upper gate, which is also the top of the fire road. A couple of roots and rocks, but nothing exciting on this section of the trail. You will meet a lot of walkers and DOGS if you come here on a nice afternoon.
Access Info
Parking is available where this trail crosses McCormick road.
