Description

This is probably the easiest trail at Alafia River State Park. It begins at the trailhead and meanders through pine forest, stopping att he Rock Garden Loop. Most of the trail is sand, some of it deep, but pine needles cover much of it, helping the traction somewhat.

Often done as the last part of the Easy Loop trails. some deepish sand mashing it tougher to navigate unless you have a fat tire bike. Harder work ...

Fun trail as a warm up for tougher rides in the Alafia River State Park system

A twisted descent on a hard option of Rollercoast that cost me six weeks off the bike when I face planted instead of successfully navigating the bottom.
