Summary:
The trail is divided into two categories by Cable Line Rd. The side closest to the lake (north side of the road) is a great warm up trail despite it being 8 miles long. I would rate the north side of the road as a beginner to intermediate level and is basically XC, this side of the road is fast and flowing, it has several log obstacles, bridges, roots, and a few oppurtunities for air, but watch out for other riders because this can be riden from either direction. I highly recommend that if you don't warm up on this trail, you should use it as a cool down ride, the scenery is great, and the ride is very enjoyable.
The south side of clable line road is completely different from the north side, although the scenery isnt as enjoyable, it is a much tougher ride and i would only suggest it to an experianced rider or someone who is used to riding "all mountain" On this side on the street there are indtermediate, andvanced, and "expert" trails. On these trails you will experiance Many log obstacles, and i swear that every 300 feet there is a huge rock garden. the advanced trails will seem quite doable to a experianced rider, but by no standards is it a walk in the park, these trails will give you one heck of a workout... If you are feeling ballzee try the "Expert" trail (80 percent of it is a rock garden), I really dont think it is of "expert" standards, but it is really quite difficult and ide say about 3 percent is "literally impossible to ride", but thats how it is with two way trails there will always be a hill that you can only go down, and not up. I suggest at least trying it, you will have the time of your life!

Recommended Route:
Get to Cable Line road, park in the mtb parking lot, hop on the trail, ask other riders what they suggest to do (there's usually at least someone else there, most of which are friendly), and ride your heart out.

Summary:
The trail system has already been extensively reviewed. I just wanted to commend CAMBA for a well thought out & well executed trail system. I had a blast riding here and wish I could do it more often. I wish there was something like this where I live!

Summary:
I rode this trail for the first time last season after being out of the saddle for a few years with back problems and it instantly became my favorite local trail. I have only ridden the trails north of Cable Line Rd (lake side) but now that I have refreshed my riding skills and am more confident in my physical condition I plan to venture onto the more difficult trails on the south side.

the trails on the lake side of Cable Line Rd. are excellent single track. Loaded with tight switch backs, tree roots, water crossing, and log roll overs. Some of the more daunting obstacles have alternate routes allowing less confident riders a means to circumvent the obstacle. there are also some great elevation changes mixed in amongst the switch backs.

Aside from the lake side trail being a good technical single track, it offers some stunning scenery along the way.

Recommended Route:
For the trails north of Cable Line Rd. take the path from the parking area to what most refer to as the "paved path" (it's actually the remnant of what was once Cable Line Rd. before it became part of the state park), turn left on the paved path and then look for the first trail head to your left. Drop into the trees on this trail and just ride every bit of single track you find until you come back out on the paved section near the east gate about 6.5 miles of single track later.

Summary:
This trail is great, it offers a ton of diversity for all riding levels. You can challeng yourself by warming up on the trails north of the paved path, they total rigth around 6.5 miles. Once you finish jump over the south trails (more & most difficult plus expert) and challenge your technical skills (plently of rock gardens)

If you time it rights you can ride the north trails back as a nite ride which is a blast as a closer.

Recommended Route:
Start on the trails north of the paved path, once you finish jump to the south side of the paved path, these trails are more and most difficult with a really nice section of labeled expert only ( very technical rocky section)

Summary:
This trail has changed so much over the past two years that I have been riding it. In my opinion, it is now a rival to Vultures. I have personally had a hand in building some of the newer sections, and I absoultely love riding here. What it lacks in up and down, it makes up for in technical difficulty. The rock sections here are unlike anything I have ridden in Ohio and Michigan, and the new 200 ft elevated log section is sweet.

Recommended Route:
Follow direction signs, don't wuss out on the expert only section, just be careful.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Vultures Knob, Mohican Wilderness and SP.
