Seneca is a trail that starts at the upper parking lot at Jake's Rocks. From the parking lot it is a fast and flowy downhill to the Deerfoot junction with a few optional trail-side features along the way. After Deerfoot Seneca continues to a junction with Devil's Drop, then Blacksnake, and finally ending at the junction with Ohi-Yo Way and Corn Planter. There are some wooden bridge and a few minor rock gardens, but in general fast and flowy is the character of this trail.

I'd recommend the Seneca to Deerfoot combination as an excellent descent from the parking lot to Devil's Elbow, then climbing up Devil's Drop to continue on to the other excellent trails here

      Fantastic up and down. We climbed up but it’s a ripping good downhill.

      This trail is shown as a climb, but most people I have seen on it were going down. It's a super fun and fast downhill. This is my favorite trail to start on when I get to TAJR.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
