Main red loop trail; begins (splits) in 2 directions just beyond the culvert/brook crossing on the red access trail. Mixture of doubletrack and singletrack. Variable from smooth to very rocky. North side of loop passes through the large meadow, then into the woods past a vernal pool. Mostly gentle grades, however the rocky sections are quite challenging on a bike, especially the southern side of this loop, (between the R-O Connector and Green trail) which is more properly rated black diamond for most riders.
Access Info
Splits in 2 directions at the end of the Red Access Trail.
