South side trail for Sylvia Creek. Starts at the dam and heads downstream to the Simpson Entrance trail and joins Northside for an easy climb back to the dam and the state park area.
Mostly hiking but a good beginner trail and intro to mountain biking. There are a few spots that a anyone below good intermediate level should get off and walk, or risk landing in a crick bottom.
