In contrast to the red triangle south of the blue rectangle trail, this is very overgrown and poorly-maintained; impassable on bike in it's current state. (Sept 2019). Chest-high weeds, thick and deep mud, a downed tree at waist height, and no trail markers after the first 200 yards.

Designated as a horse trail on the Westwoods map
