Route Description

Elevation profile

The trail has some decent climbs but none sustained over a long period of time.

A common route is to start at the parking lot and use Lake Road to access Boneyard Connector. This will take you to the true trailhead to the right as it splits with Darwin's Revenge to the left. After the trail completes you will return to the power line cut where it intersects with Pawpaw and Lake Road. Take Lake Road back to the parking lot to complete the loop. This is approximately 3.0 miles (the summary box's "Round Trip Distance").

The trail was rerouted in 2022 near the south trailhead where it starts with Darwin's Revenge. This appears to be largely for erosion control and gentler slopes up and over the ridge

Typical Conditions

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.

No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
