Springhouse is the "main" loop at Brumley that connects all of the outer loops. The trail is relatively flowy with a few technical spots. The northern section of trail contains some fun and challenging switchbacks that can be ridden in either direction. There is an extensive rock garden feature near the connector to Stony Creek.

      Definitely a pretty fun trail. However if I had to choose between this and Buckeye loop, I’m going with Buckeye.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
