The trail is appx. 4.5 miles long and can be ridden in either direction but is more enjoyable from Spicer. Look for the sign on the right side of the road before you get to the dam. The trail is currently seldom used but is marked with cairns. About 1/2 way, the trail follows a narrow green meadow/swamp and becomes nearly non-existent. Follow the narrow meadow for a while then go into the trees on the northwest side and the trail until you pick up the trail and it soon turns into a doubletrack. Another mile afterward, you reach the southwest end of Corral Meadow. About a mile after this you cross a seasonal creek. about 150 feet later, there is a fork in the trail. Continuing straight takes you to Camp Wolfeboro but the trail is currently unrideable and almost non-existent. Going right, you ascend to Spicer road.

 Rode it last fall and got 1.5 miles from the east end before losing the trail. I read recently the east 4 miles to 7N01A has been logged out.

      I read recently that Bear Valley Trails has logged out the east 4 miles from the reservoir to 7N01A. If true, then you can loop it from Bear Valley using Slickrock DH, a bit of Spicer Rd and Cow Camp/Tamarack and Emigrant Trail. That would be a pretty cool ride actually. I tried to ride Wolfe-Bray last year, made it 1.5 mi starting at the east end before losing the trail.

      Dropped into the forest service road about 2/3 the way and tried to make it down to Wilkesboro camp. Made it to the last mile of very steep and aside from the Karen’s you would not know there was a trail there a few pink and orange flags at certain points, but it is very hard to follow and don’t bring a bike bring a chainsaw!

      Missed the last fork to go up to Spicer Rd so ended up hiking the bike to camp wolfboro. There are downed trees everywhere and the trail is not easy to follow. Wouldn't even make a good hiking trail with how over grown some spots are

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
