Recommended Route: Other recommended trails in the same area: Noxubee Crest in Aberdeen and the Refuge
Review: Great trail when dry! Nice and challenging ride...I really like what people have done to it...putting in wooden bridges, etc...	Overall Rating:

Linz from Starkville Date: May 28, 2002 Trail Ridden: Once a week
Recommended Route: When entering to the right leads to a jump and several trails. To the right is more of the uphill way, but still worth the work. Other recommended trails in the same area: Tombigbee in Ackerman and Oak Mt. in B-Ham
Review: Don't go right after rain...it tears up the trail. When dry can provide fun jumps, logs, and roots. Many alternate trails when clear...just keep an eye out for them.	Overall Rating:

Recommended Route: Just ride! Other recommended trails in the same area: The Pipeline!
Review: Started out just riding through the woods. With the help of Mike Murphy, Kendall Cole, and my brothers (Teal and Ford), and countless others, we turned it into a nice twisty little course. If you know the right route it can be a 5+ mile loop. Special thanks to Hugh Ector for the GPS mapping...	Overall Rating:

Recommended Route: I'ts easier to find the singletrack, so begin on that. First enter the Research Park Loop and go to the back side to a wide place in the road and park. A trail can be seen leading up the hill from there. It really doesn't matter which direction you go once you start. There are many loops or sections of the trail. Just try to find your way back to the starting point. (It's best to get a map from the Starkville Bike Shop first.) Other recommended trails in the same area: Wilderness Trail at the end of Keaton Tower Road in the Noxubee Refuge. Scattertown Trail near Bevil Hill Church at the south side of the Noxubee Refuge. Maps for both are available at the Bike Shop.
Review: There are some fun, short downhills (uphills), some bridges, some loop-to-does (across low places), some logs to jump. One can end up on the double track (cross-country training track) to end up the ride.	Overall Rating:
