Land Owner
This trail initially winds through a level pine forest, then quickly transitions to primarily downhill segments that feature flat turns which vary in technical difficulty depending on the conditions. There are a few short climbs, an off-camber turn or two, and a creek crossing. Overall a very fun trail at Lake Issaqueena and well worth the climb up Grinder Road.
