Ride a full loop and turn left when you get back to this point. Ride out of Lick Fork Recreation Area on main road. Right onto Hwy 230 (Martintown Rd). Cross Hwy 23 and Red Hill Rd. Left on USFS 628.

Follow to end of USFS 632A and ride 632A to a right back onto USFS 632. There will be 2-way traffic on this section unless we can get permission to cross private property.


Ride back to Rest Stop 2 -and this is also Rest Stop 3 (aprox 54 miles). Left on USFS 615. Cross paved road, and ride USFS 613, ford the creek, shoulder the bike for 50 yards and get on USFS 612. Take it to a left on Hwy 283. This is now the commute to the parks. Ride 283 to Plum Branch. Right onto Hwy 28, immediate left onto Jefferson St. Left on 44. Left on Hwy 378. Left on 650, right thru the White Rock Communtiy. Left on 124. Right on 56. Straght across 378 onto Hugenot Parkway. Cross the bridge, and take a left on Sadies Last Loop (this is on the BCSP Trail) at the green box. Ride to the pavilion on the singletrack.


Rest stop 4 is at the pavilion (aprox 75 miles). Compete the loop to the point you entered the trail at the green box. Left onto Hugenot Parkway. Left on Hwy 7. Right into HKSP entrance. Right off the road, into the woods and left onto the the Turkey Ridge Loop, again at a green power box.

Ride to the Red Barn - and this is Rest Stop 5 (aprox 90 miles). Do a loop on the Lakeview Loop. Go back to Turkey Ridge Loop, and go left. Exit the Turkey Ridge Loop at a spot really close to the main park road, get on the park rd, and ride it to the skeet range entrance of the Beaver Run Trail. Ride Beaver Run, and follow the to the finish, which is around the corner, in a good sized field.


I think this around 100 miles. I think it is about 43.5 miles of trail (singletrack), 22 miles of gravel roads and 34.5 miles of pavement. Sorry for all the pavement - but very little of it is on busy roads.

This route is tenative. We haven't even begun the process of getting persmission. But anyone can go ride the route, and let me know how long it is.

The halfway point is somewhere on USFS 632A. So Hamilton Branch SP would be a good place to camp if two days sounded better. I plan to do that soon - and get some good info on the ride.
