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)

      Part of this has been mowed, but the further west you go the more overgrown it gets.
