Land OwnerODNR / City of Athens
A fun trail with several challenging technical climbs. When riding west to east the trail ends in a challenging steep climb, with a switchback turn that has significantly eroded at the start. This trail offers great views of Athens at sunset, and you can smell the food cooking on East State Street
Local tip: In mid/late fall you can gorge yourself on pawpaw fruit!
