Description

Quick flowing in either direction, Trail 4 offers some of our park's best scenery! A few tight corners, a couple low hanging limbs, and a few simple log overs, Trail 4 is great for all ages and skill levels. Continue on to Trail B on the east side of the creek and Trail A or stay on the west side of the creek and use Trail C as shortcut to Trail 3, Trail 2, Trail 1, or Advanced Loop.

With great canopy filtered natural light, Trail 4 is great place to snap a picture almost anytime of the day!

Actually ride on the 29th. First time I've ever been here. Nice system. I'll be back for sure.
