Route Description[edit]
The trail has some ups and downs, but none of them steep or sustained. The route will bring you by the river and along the power line cut for some good views.
Typical Conditions[edit]
The mountain biking association SORBA Tri-Cities handles the trail maintenance, thus generally in good condition. While there are no blazes to guide you through the forest, the narrow single tracks are well established. Grab a trail map at the parking lot kiosk to help you decipher intersections; some which could use signs. Be aware for approaching bike riders who can come up quickly on your group. Step aside to let them safely pass.
Fees, Permits, etc.[edit]
No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
