This loop takes you for a tour of South Park and what it offers. The main focus is the Buffalo Ridge Trail, but it branches off to give you a little variety.
The loop starts at the main parking lot and can be ridden either direction. Small portions of this route follow roads with vehicle traffic so please use with caution.
