    Berm, Bridge, Wallride

Great little used, hard pack, single track with a few man made features. One wall, 7 bridges, a few a good ways off the ground.(Bridges are considered black diamond). Trail offers some nice flowy sections with enough roots and rocks to keep your attention. No long climbs but the short ones there can be on the technical side. This is a little ridden gem among the trails in Knoxville's Urban Wilderness.
