Family Friendly This area has plenty of fishing and camping to round out a day with the family.

Visit the Department of Game & Inland Fisheries website for restrictions and guidelines. The white-blazed trail is the Appalachian Trail, on which bikes are prohibited.

Description

Descending from Freezeland Road is a fun and fast descent. The trail starts out steep and a little washed out. It crosses the white-blazed Appalachian Trail—be aware of hikers. As it progresses towards the bottom, the trail develops sections of loose rocks and tight singletrack. It finishes at Lake Thompson.
