Summary:
Sept. 6 Found the trail after a some searching. The DNR map has the parking lot in the wrong spot so be careful when following it. The Birdseye General Store is a good place to get your $3 pass and fuel up with the old-style deli. The trail was dry in spite of the heavy rains the week before. Good mix of single and double track. There wasn't anyone around for a nice weekend and the number of cobwebs across the trail showed there hasn't been much activity either by bike or horse. Not for beginners but not to technical to enjoy your ride and make some time.

Recommended Route:
Start at the parking lot and go behing the horse stands and bomb the long hill.

Summary:
OK for a change of scenery.
South end is very fast.
Horses have really torn up the trail in many places. They go around bad spots and make them even wider. At least the DNR hasn't rocked this trail yet. Once they do, it won't be worth unracking your bike.

Summary:
There are plenty of stream crossings and a few technical parts, but not many. Well deserving just to do it at least doing it once to see it. Lots of different types of Forrest and scenery. By going this route, this is not for beginners who do not know how to use their gears or are not in physically good shape.

Recommended Route:
From the trailhead, go back up the road and enter the trail to the right, by going this way there are some excellent climbs.

Summary:
I would not recommend this trail for more experienced riders, beginners would like it better. It is wide enough for a Jeep all the way around, except for a couple of climbs, it is not very challenging. When I was there a bulldozer had scraped the topsoil off of about two miles at the north end of the loop. I was told that they were "improving" the trail with it. I hate to think that my three dollar day pass goes to the guy who thought of this "improvment". There were some horses there but I had no problem with them, you can tell in the low, wet areas of the trail that the horses could tear it up, but it is a multi purpose trail, so you know in advance. I give this a two star rating only because it is not technical and not a single track, like I wanted. If you want to go for an easy, relaxing ride do it, just stay off the north end of the loop, you will get frustrated trying to ride the bulldozer tracks.

Recommended Route:
I went counter-clockwise but was told to do it clockwise for a better ride.
