Description

This loop is a fun trail and a nice addition to the area. There is a good mix of smooth trails, little jumps, and a nice rocky section with a large rock to ride over. It has a good flow to it with great views of the lake in multiple sections of the trail.

Main line goes to the right but there appears to be a second line that rolls over the rock on the left.
