Trail Notes:
The west trail is 12 miles long, and is much more challenging with steep, rocky terrain.  
The east trail is 25 miles long and is more level.  The upper trail is flagged blue, the
shoreline trail is flagged orange, and the connecting trails between the two are flagged
white.  The connecting trails allow you to vary the length of your ride.  This trail is
becoming eroded, rocky, and confusing.  There are mile markers along the trail.  In the
summer, these trails can get quite overgrown and tick infested.  This trail would probably
benefit from somebody adopting it.  If interested, please call the office to see if you can
adopt it.
