Trails are generally open from May - November. Please do not ride on soft trails during spring runoff as the trails are extremely vulnerable to rutting during that period.

Description

This trail is a great little downhill run. Lots of built up earthen berms to rollover or jump off of. It starts out seeming like a jeep road but narrows down quickly. There are a few tight turns to keep you on your toes, then a final right turn and a couple of short sharp climbs deposit you on a gravel road, FR 381, just a short way from the trailhead parking.

A must visit. You could spend several days here and ride different singletrack each time. With more trails being built regularly. Nice designated camping areas and clean restrooms. Help support the cause, only 5 dollars a day

Trailhead map, confusing because as you stand there it is upside-down to the direction you are facing.
