Sandy Stream Trail continues on old discontinued woods roads and travels thru over grown road sections and then to a single track ending at Sandy Stream. The views are incredible. We saw a huge Moose in the stream with full rack. The ride from Short’s had two turns that you have to watch out for, and beautiful ride along a stream bank.
