2. Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
3. Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.

Trailhead at gravel parking lot.

Route Description

This trail connects to Ridge Top.

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.
