Family Friendly The closer end of the trail is pretty wide and not too challenging.

Description

Often referred to as "Tugman," this trail starts at Tugman Campground and follows Eel Lake's shore for 3.3 miles before ending in a marshy area. The proximity to the lake means that there are no big climbs, though there are some short punchy ones. Be careful of slick bridges in the wet months, and also watch drainage crossings, as old log bridges may have deteriorated into an unrideable state.

Trails are in great shape, they are hard, fast and very dry! They are starting to get grown in so we need some wheels on the ground! 11mi
