Biking is prohibited on the McHugh Creek Trail after mile 4.4 at Rabbit Lake.

Description

The route to Rabbit Lake is a long, moderate climb up an old road bed that eventually turns to singletrack. Your reward for the long climb is that the trail ends at a gorgeous alpine lake. The area is popular in the summer with hikers and skiers in the winter, so you'll likely not be the only one on the trail.

Real tough trail for riding, lots of big rocks on an uphill grade, and the wind must have been 50mph! Lots of people walking the trail as well.
