This section of the Red-Cub Trail trail starts out on a logging road, then turns into increasingly deteriorating singletrack where you might lose your way. To continue east towards Cabin Creek, there are 2 tracks to choose from on the trailforks map. The northern one was actually ridden, the southern one might not exist. Pick your poison, either way you will end up wandering around a little. Not recommended unless you're a glutton for punishment. Motors allowed on western 2 miles only.
