Barton Flats Campground to SART connector Trail. This is a mellow singletrack trail that can be ridden in either direction. It gets regular traffic and is well maintained. There are no significant obstacles nor trail features. It's a nice ride to/from the Santa Ana River Trail. At the campground is is marked by a large, trail information board. After leaving the campground the trail intersects an unmarked path and then at the midway point the trail intersects a clearly posted connector trail that links the San Gorgonio campground. At the SART end this trail is clearly posted by a sign post. This is a popular recreation area; expect to encounter families and other trail users. Bike bell encouraged.

Still a few trees across the trail and new growth has narrowed it in places. Trail it's self is in good condition and fun.
