Land Owner
Just a bunch of flat turns in the woods, some rocks towards the middle but it flows great. Always loamy and fast. A great way to connect the Leper Farm area to Laurel Lake.
Access Info
From Leper Farm Rd, it's right off the east side of the road by all of the dirt rollers. It can easily be accessed off of Traverse (snow day, Leaf trail). Exits behind cabins adjacent to Camp Thompson, right out onto 233.
Disclaimer
Gets close to Cabins, but its all public land, just hang left.
