Wilkinson Pond Loop is a mellow 2-track out-and-back without features. It was originally a farm road to access a since-removed barn and became a scenic walk in the hardwood. It is best suited for novice riders. Wilkinson Pond Loop starts and ends at the gravel road that's part of Briar Chapel Paved and leads to Tee Off with Tiger. Warning: Grey water irrigation is active in this area. We generally discourage use of this trail due to the sprayers. If you get sprayed, know that it is treated water that is not toxic but still do your best to not ingest it (drink directly, from a water bottle, etc) and get cleaned up.
