Summary:
I went down and rode this trail last weekend. It flows real well, it seems like I was always going downhill. If you are looking for a technical challenge this isn't it. If you are looking for a fast fun ride it is hard to beat. A little more challenge would give it a 5 but I rate it a solid 4 for the fun element.

Recommended Route:
Start at the small parking lot follow the signs. I had never been on this trail and didn't have a map but the route is very intuitive. This trail was very well planned out. The 1st loop feeds right into the next one, it is real smooth.

Summary:
Trail is awesome. The connector trail is fast, without any big climbs and armored pretty well. Make sure you have a trail map and if you need to bail after the connector, just take a left on the dirt road and it'll intersect with McCubbins, take a left and your at the trailhead.... I dig both loops usually only ride one however.
This trail can be an easy ride or a hard ride depending on how aggressive you are. Most of the time I ride hard and fast, but lately the leaves are covering the trail and there are sections you REALLY need to be able to see what's under the leaves. Be cautious in the fall.

Recommended Route:
Connector Trail, North Loop

Summary:
Trail is officially open!

Please do not ride (especially the South Loop) when it is wet! Someone has done some damage that we have to repair, but other than that the trail is in great condition.

Recommended Route:
Start at "official" trailhead, ride Connector to South Loop (clockwise) to North Loop (clockwise) and back on Connector.

Summary:
Just finished riding HONEY RUN [9-24-06] .This trail is as good as it gets.It was one of the best rides that Ive ever been on. Hats off to the "LAKE GUYS" that laid it out. IT ROCKS! I was riding a Gunnar single speed w/ 34-16 gearing and it was fast, fast, fast .The trail flows perfectly with enough challenges to keep you on your toes. This trail is as good or better than any top rated trails in the state including Berryman and Council Bluffs. Every mountain biker regardless of skill level needs to ride this trail its a fantastic ride.

Recommended Route:

Summary:
Just rode the north loop and man was it fun! I wouldn't say this is an easy trail, several places really challenged me to keep the feet on the pedals, but the gentle nature of the hills left me more wind to concentrate on the tricky spots. This would be an awesome single speed trail. The trail still needs a little work and a lot more riders ti settle the bed in. Some sections had steep angles cut into them that will drain it well but makes it a little dicey for the jittery bike. Several nice log piles and many trees to bunnyhop, no sweat even on my hardtail. Despite being off limits to horses, I spotted many signs they were on it recently. This will be fun in the winter when the leaves are off the trees, but I would be careful in fall when the leaves are on the trail, this is one where you need to see what's on the trail.
