Another trail in the OxBow Trail System. You start on the east side, and ride OxFlow down and back. There is a table, and plans for a small rock garden, dock drop, and a double that serves as a roller. Everything can be easily rolled with a 20" bike, so nothing to worry about from a technical standpoint.

Access Info

Once you pop out onto the gravel trail at the furthest north point of Sandy Wash, you can find the trail about 20 yards (right edge)
