This trail is the perfect backdrop for your next scenic hike or adventurous mountain bike ride. At just under five miles, this trail features a tight single track, moguls, sweeping burms, log pyramids, bridges of varying sizes, woop-dee-doos, some small climbs and a big rock jump. This trail connects with two other watershed trails, Owl's Roost and Reedy Fork, for more continuous rides. Put all three together, and you have a great long distance ride

      Firemedic00033
      Kist a note the trails were listed as open, very surprisingly given the condition and the ruts people were leaving
      Firemedic00033
      Good potential, a little muddy for my liking..will have to try it when it dries some more

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
