Description

The Gnu Loop can be accessed from the Eastman Road parking lot or from the South Loop, using the connector trail. There are several great features on this loop including a log ride, numerous small jumps, a winding bridge over a swampy area and several smaller bridges. The trail can be tight in certain areas but opens up, especially on the west section of the trail.
