Description

This is a gravel trail with many small climbs and descents. You'll pass many marshes along the trail and some small bridges over creeks. The portion on the southwest side along Dundee Road is dirt and doesn't dry well so expect to get muddy (or better yet wait a day or two after it rains for the trail to dry out).

Mostly dry. Keep an eye out for drainage ruts in the gravel. 6mi
