Trail Notes:
This trail is moderately difficult. It has quite a few water crossings, and a few
hills, but nothing too strenuous. It crosses the road several times. This is one
of those trails that you want to try and refrain from riding during the wet weather
season or after a recent rain. It gets heavy equestrian use and the trails get quite
muddy and unsightly. During the summer, the mud gives way to a large amount
of overgrowth. Watch out for thorns. This trail has gotten to be in very bad
shape. It's badly eroded and boggy in many spots. It would benefit greatly
from someone adopting it or several big trail work days.
