Smooth singletrack with rocky, rooty, twisty sections which get your attention. Intermediate due to a sketchy drop down to a log path. Great short ride if you live close. And of course you can finish with a swim on a hot day.

Best to ride it early especially on weekends due to a lot of foot traffic and most hikers are not used to seeing bikes on this trail.
