Description: The Lake
Loop is seven miles of beautifully hand built singletrack. The
trail is very fast but has numerous logs to cross and two cool
rock outcroppings that are each fun and challenging. Once on the
ride, the lake appears after about a mile or so. You will follow
the lake onto 12 points for the next five miles. Then it's one
mile back to the barn. Not much climbing, I'd guess less than
300 feet on the entire loop. You will cross hundreds of
drainages, none of which are bridged. So while it is fast it
also keeps you on yours toes with dips, logs, rocks and tight
tree sections.
Turkey Ridge is a 1.7
mile loop across the road from the barn. It offers a nice
middle-ring climb followed by a fun downhill. It has more of a
sustained climb than anywhere on the Lake Loop. Keep in mind
that we are still under 500 feet above sea level, so don't get
too excited. It should make a great time trial loop or just
enough riding if another loop on the Lake is too much. Ride in
either direction.
Beaver Run is a 2.5
mile out/back from the Lodge to the Skeet Range. It is a fairly
flat - yet fast open and flowing trail that is wide enough to
pass at just about any point. It has no difficult features and
should be the easy family trail that the State Parks wanted. On
the other hand, you can really fly on this thing. It has enough
curves to keep you honest and is really fun to ride for all
abilities. Be careful, you can really go fast on this and the
trees will hurt if you hit one of them!
