Description

One of the most ridden trails in the Preserve, Blue Trail has it all:
  • Climbing
  • Descending
  • Easy roots
  • Easy rocks
  • Stream crossings

Blue Trail can easily be ridden as a loop in and of itself, but most riders will use it to connect from Trout Brook to Crow Hill Preserve.
