Description

The Silent Swamp Trail links the Preston Railroad Trail to Joy Ride and is commonly ridden in this direction to avoid traveling along roads. However, due to elevation and obstacles, the trail is a more enjoyable ride traveling in the opposite direction.

The Silent Swamp Trail exhibits an impressive amount of construction necessary to make this trail "hold up in the wet."

I'd like to think this particular root roll on Fully Rigid has a catchy name like 'The Widow Maker.'

Plenty of uphill on this connector trail with several short downhills.
