Trail Notes:
If possible, ride your first ride here with someone who knows the trail because
it can be confusing. There are few markings, the trail gets faint, & private land
is mingled throughout. Be careful not to trespass. Map doesn't show all the
creek crossings and watch crossing during high water. The Cedar Creek
crossing has a steep side which can become dangerous when wet. Watch for
down wire and use the self closing gates when going through pastures. The
Baskett Wildlife Area has ongoing research, so stay on the developed trail
when riding through it.
