This trail is a tight single track. It has some neat steep climbs, but they can be avoided via the bypass.To find the Probert Rd. trailhead, make a left onto the road after finishing the Driving Range trail (are you getting the idea that we want you to enjoy all our trails yet?). Go straight thru the intersection and look for an orange dot on right side road, which marks the Probert Rd. trailhead.

 Tree is still down, but not hard to go under it. Nice trail. Entrance and exit are the same location although they look separate on the map. ...

 Tree down in a thick wooded/brush section. Can't really go over it and it's tight getting under it. Needs some chainsaw attention.
