CNY DIRT 2020 build, implementing the first part of the amended master plan with the inclusion of the Mann property into Green Lakes State Park. Often known as part of the "Pierson Road Trails", this trail is a lollipop that is almost exclusively in the treelines and thicker woods between fields; the only time with exposure is in a simple crossing of the field toward the bottom. Lots of flow, great section of sugar maple woods, and sustainable grades are the features of this excellent addition to Green Lakes trail system.

      Rides great, quite a lot of prickers from berries and wild rose in the trail.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
