TTFs on TrailRock Garden
Chief Papaschase trail in the heart of the I.R. 136. A total of 7 climbs from creek to street level. Physically demanding but very enjoyable trail. Terrain & vegetation vary greatly throughout the trail with plenty of rest spots along the way. Watch for the rock garden. South entrance is half way up the multi-use exit to 47 st. at 39 A Ave across from entrance to No Where Man. North exit is the upper trail near the cutline.

Overgrowth across the entire trail has been cut back to improve sight lines and reduce rider frustrations on the proper route to follow as there are several bail out paths and bypasses. Should improve the experience of those checking the area out. Also, several clothesline deadfalls have been removed.
