The Volunteer Track starts off at the main lot, departing from the northwest corner. Heading north on flat terrain a log ride that branches off right of the trail precipitates a change to more rolling singletrack. As the trail heads west and down hill, the character changes to fast-paced sweeping turns.

As you continue back and forth and then along the old road bed for a short time, follow the signage to cross a concrete ford, then turn right off the road bed and into the woods. This section of the loop flows north to west then back south again. Rock features dot the fairly flat ride that returns you to the Old Bean Path (the gravel road), at the intersection of Sweet Baby Ray and Connector B /Connector A .
