Summary:
On the horse trails map there are two areas marked water, they mean it (100 yds. and knee deep). Also one or two weekends a year the horse people have group rides. They chop up the trails a bit, but worse they bring dogs (mean farm dogs), and leave lots of gifts on the trails. If you see more than two or three horse trailers at the trail-head I recomend you keep going and come back after the next hard rain.

Recommended Route:
If you can stay on the mtb route from their map and the ground markings then you win! If you can get the horse (better) or x-c (best) map.

Summary:
These trails are mostly old logging roads. Good for all riders. One long steep climb but most hills are small. Some declines are full of loose rocks and ruts, so be careful. Many miles of trails and roads to ride so plan a full day or days of riding and/or camping. There are also many small lakes to swim or camp on. Perch or mist lakes are probably the best.

Recommended Route:
Go with someone who knows the trails because they are not marked clearly and the trails are not maintained well. Start by horse trail for maps.

Summary:
April eighth 2001, still too much snow to ride it. I will return in a few weeks. Oh yeah, it isn't Down Under Rec Area. It is Underdown Rec Area. If you're looking for signs to the former you won't find it.

Recommended Route:
I didn't get to ride it but I did find it despite the WEAK directions given by the person who originally posted this trail.

Summary:
Lots of rolling hills, some steep but just enough to set a strong pace. Scenic little lakes and streams along the route. Some cross-country trails mixed with single track and logging roads. Get a map. However, don't get frustrated if you get lost. All trails eventually run together.

Recommended Route:
The Longest, the 25 mile loop or 30 depending if you get lost. Plan all day but take some grub and if in summer take bug dope. This trail defines cross-country at it's essense and don't be afraid to get a little muddy. Watch out for Blacky (Bear) they tend to waddle where you least expect them. This trail is raw and shared by only a few. The best reward awaits he thirsty at the end of the trail there is a great spring well pump. Hits the spot after a long hard ride.
