      State website says bicycling is allowed on this trail
      300lbmtnbiker 300lbmtnbiker
      Don't know why this is listed as mountain biking not recommended or allowed since there are signs that say Pine Ridge with a picture of a bicycle on the trail.

      Looks like all maintenance has ceased on this trail. It’s become severely rutted and large sections of east side are now run off shoots and these areas hold water - super soggy in spots. Lotts horse damage. Trees down everywhere. Too bad as this is a stunning section of the park, some gorgeous hardwood groves and creek crossings. Large burbling stream is a great place for rockhounds. If this trail was rehabbed it would be a an amazing ride. Until then, I’d avoid.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
