Loop 6 reaches the southern end of RCP. The first stretch is along the creek bank. It's steep in parts, so the warning from previous loops holds true here--you don't want to take a dip in Rowlett Creek. Once away from the creek, you'll pedal through the woods and navigate around some small pond-like features. The water gets mighty stagnate during summer. Yummy! Be aware, when RCP receives enough rain to close, Loop 6 can retain water for several more days after the trail system opens. It can get muddy back there!!
