Nearly all singletrack. Great biking for beginner & intermediate riders, rocky sections, shallow ravines, a few climbs....without being overwhelmed. Lake, picnic &camping areas.

Summary:
Short trail. Contains some technical rock navigating. This trail was much better before the DNR decided to rock a two-mile stretch. No idea why. The trail hadn't been torn up by bikes or horses (no horses allowed).

Reviewed by: Patrick Strehl , from Floyds Knobs

Summary:
Excellent trail best suited for an intermediate rider. There many roots and sharp rocks along the trail, so somes sections can be chalanging. Trail is about 6 miles and took about 2 hours, but we didn't push too hard. I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

Recommended Route:
Take 64 west toward st. louis, and take exit 79 (hwy 37) turn left and drive about 6 miles to the park entrance (don't forget to get an Indiana trail pass at the gas station about 1/4 mile before the entrance). Turn right at the Tipsaw lake sign. The trailhead is well marked and located just before the gatehouse. Turn left and park just in front of the trailhead. We went to the right and through the campground. It got a bit confusing as we neared the beach, but we found the trailhead at the far end of the parking lot.

Reviewed by: Jeff , from Darmstadt, Indiana

Summary:
This trail has some short climbs, rocky sections on North side of lake, 2 challenging stream crossings, and a muddy/soft section on North side of Dam. It is 95% single track. The only thing missing are logs to jump/clear. Seems that hikers/bikers clear them off. During the summer there are bathrooms/picnic area/swimming available. Depending on conditions my daughters(7&10 yrs. old) can accompany me and enjoy most of the ride.

Recommended Route:
Park just before the main entrance to swimming area/pavillion. There is a dirt road on your left with a parking area. Ride either direction on loop.

Reviewed by: Derek , from Dailey

Summary:
This is a fun trail. Lots of technical rocky sections. Also has fast rolling singletrack.
I would recomend camping here. The National forest service has a primo campground here. From here you drive 1/2 hour max to get to 4 other Forest service Trail systems that allow Mt Biking. Enjoy!

Recommended Route:
Fast

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Birdseye, Morgan Ridge, Oriole, & Geman Ridge
