I bike spotted this - yeah, I know, most people say to do an out-and-back but I anticipated not wanting to do this trail more than once... and I was right. I left my bike locked at the Route 2 end and pedaled uphill after - totally lung-busting 8 miles to get back but I was happy for the extra cardio!!!!
Interesting set of berms at the north end of this trail - at least 6-10 historic-looking berms - must have been used for drainage in the logging days - that was about all that was interesting on this trail. Middle section was a pretty good natural interpretation of a "Slip'n Slide" except it was made of mud and not as much fun!!!! |
