Description

Beacham Trail circles the lake, passing Leatherwood Dam, the dam quarry and other interesting destinations. Although this trail traverses few extended hills, the varied terrain makes it especially challenging for bicyclists. It begins at either Beacham Trailhead or Meadow Trailhead.

Note that they've closed the dam walkway so you have to turn around. Turns the ride into a 4.5 mile out and back.

Don’t believe the rating on this trail! The east side should be a black diamond expert rating. Lots of unridable and imbedded rock and root section…
