Land OwnerNoquemanon Trail Network
Smiley is a fun and easy going connection between Greywalls and the Pioneer Overlook Connector.
The first half of the trail is level on the roll-out followed by a gradual descent with some gentle in-sloped carving singletrack. The forest through here has an open floor with a tall canopy.
The second part of Smiley has a bit more wiggle in the trail and a couple of very short climbs that require little more than a couple of pedal strokes. The trees open up a bit up top and the understory becomes a little denser and grassy at trail level.
