Land Owner
Great trail with lots of loam and rocks. There are lots of bridge sections to get you out of the mud. There are a couple of large boulders to ride over so the "climbing" aspect is a bit more technical. Be aware of wildlife as this area is very far from civilization and is very dense and quiet.
