Beginner 95% and intermediate 5%, 3.56 mile MTB trail which is a bi-directional double track that has some up and down character that makes some sections difficult to climb for beginner riders. The trail tread is mainly packed dirt which can be loose during extended dry periods which causes a safety issue for beginners riding too fast for their skill level. There is no preferred direction and the trail is a great connector for several other fun loops.
