Description

The Long Cane Horse Trail is a loop with good, old school flow. The route includes plenty of intermediate technical sections including log-overs, creek crossings, and root-laden sections. The punchy climbs and fast descents keep you on your toes and the riding interesting.

Around mile 10, you can bail out at Long Cane Horse Trail Crossing to make a shorter loop.
