This is probably one of the funnest downhill sections of trail in Tallahassee. The entrance to the trail is rather steep and rooty so be prepared to pick a good line. There are a few trail features to watch out for. There are a couple of log roll overs that can be used as jumps with the right speed. There are also two relatively big jumps on the trail one of them is a high speed gap jump about 8ft long and the other one is not a gap but not easily rollable and is probably about 10ft long (both meant to be hit at high speeds. The rest of the trail flows nicely with one creek crossing that has a bridge over it. This trail ends on Park Ave across the street from a Publix supermarket. Go across the street and continue up Blairstone Rd toward the overpass. Before getting on the overpass on the right you will see a trail that continues to the next trail section called Fern trail. Fern trail takes you all the way to Tom Brown park completely off road where you will find another trail system with about 15 miles of awesome singletrack. The climb back up is somewhat brutal especially at the very end.

Occupied homeless camp a few feet off the trail. Trash everywhere. Smelled gnarly. Otherwise good.
