Summary:
This is a great XC trail! The trail is mostly single track and has a couple of fireroad sections. The trail is always in tip top shape, the maintainer is wonderful. I think the trail is about 13 miles in length and has just a few mild hilly sections, most of them are on a portion named "Bob's Trail", this section is lots of fun. The trail is marked really well which makes it hard to get lost, you start at marker 1 and end just after marker 25. There are usually maps of the trail under the MTB sign at the trail head.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Perimeter Trail, Franklin State Forest, Fall Creek Fall Upper Loop, Raccoon Mountain and Rock Island State Park but only if you happen to be near McMinnville, it is very short but nice if you want to sneak in a quick ride while in the area.

Summary:
This is a really nice place to ride (very XC).
Lots of miles, enough to get in a ride and nothing too challenging.
It does have an interesting mix of terrain.
No big climbs, just lots of little rollers.
Plenty of deer munching & snorting when I popped out & surpised them.

Recommended Route:
Start from left & go clockwise & follow the trail numbers.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Fall Creek Falls has a nice trail kind of close by

Summary:
This trai is a 14 mile loop, all fun, ranging from tight turns through the woods to fast straights on old roads, there is a section along the lake and a section named "Bob's Trail" with 10 short hill climbs in 2.3 miles.

Recommended Route:
Start at the trail head parking lot, the "AEDC Saddle Club" lot. Ride out pass the "MTR TRAIL" bulletin board. In 50 yards the trail forks, you can ride either direction, but the left fork, clock-wise, has numbers on trees that are in sequence. There is a standing Tuesday morning ride at 08:00, usually 4-8 riders, ride time around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
The Perimeter Trail at Sewanee, the race course at St. Andrews-Sewnee, Franklin-Marion State Forest.
