one of raystowns few trails not having an identity crisis. this trail is a fun downhill. its best combined with buck/doe/switch/eagle from the bakers hollow lot. then climb back up susquehannock rd and jump back onto doe/buck to return to the lot. at that intersection you can jump over to osprey (fast and fun but you lose elevation quick so there is a price to pay, and osprey is bench cut which isnt my personal preference for a downhill trail) and do hydro loop and return via eagle or osprey to get in more miles. but once you get over into rays revenge most of the trails over there can tease you with 20 seconds of magic then you spend the next hour in pedal drudgery on trails meandering in and out of hollows....be careful on some of these other loops because you can return to your car feeling like you spent the whole day climbing.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
