This is a short single track that becomes the Flow Joe trail - you won't really notice where Wagon Wheel ends and Flow Joe starts. Flow Joe and Wagon Wheel are both fun little sections of single track that have features to keep experienced riders entertained, and are easy enough for beginners. This trail will form a portion of most Lake Fairfax rides.
