Description

Troll Loop is another flat singletrack loop with an 8 foot wide corridor, several short 5 foot wide arched bridges, and a number of ground level 16 inch wide boardwalks over muddy areas, some of them over 30 feet long. It's a great place for a relaxing ride or to hone your beginner skinny riding skills with no risk. It also passes through several small, scenic meadows as well as its predominant lowland forest.
