Land OwnerBrown County
Bobcat is an expert level trail that features narrow singletrack, rocks, narrow bridges, and a long climb/descent. Starting near Weedpatch Hill (the highest point in Brown County State Park) and dropping deep into Fern Valley below, the trail features 250 feet of elevation change.
While the entrance near Weedpatch is a show case piece machine-built by Spectrum Trail D, the rest of the trail has been hand built to ensure a rugged old school vibe.
Disclaimer
Steep climbs with some exposure.
