Land OwnerHale Education, Inc.
Recent Powerline construction has changed the start of this trail. Ride down the powerline access road and look for the trail entering the woods on your left about 1/4 mile from the dumpsters. Great technical trail and would put on the easier side of difficult.

A fun trail in both directions, but I think south to north is definitely more fun.
