Riley Falls is a little bit more difficult trail. There is a fair climb when you enter off Leave It to Beaver, quite a rooty area and a wet, muddy section as well. It joins up with the Missing Link. Most bikers will probably have more fun riding it from Missing Link to Leave It to Beaver.

      Ugly old tree down 18" about half way. Big axe or small saw will do it.
