Land Owner
Named after the slowly smoldering coal seam that collapsed part of the trail a few years back, Slow Burn is probably the most mild trail in the area. The trail was re-routed away from the problem spot but users still ride parallel to the old burn area. A great way for beginners to experience it is to park at the River Road entrance and ride in from there.
