      Trail is largely gone and is especially impassable on a bike due to fallen trees. It's not maintained since it largely falls on private property. There's also private property signs plastered all over the area along Williams and Broad Drive where the trail exits. Unless you absolutely need to, I'd stay away. Don't recommend.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
