Trail Ridden: Once a week
Recommended Route:
It's probably a little easier to ride this loop counter clockwise. Also, it's best to get a map for the second loop from the Starkville Bicycle Shop.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Research Park Trails and Wilderness Trail.

Review:

 Though there is nothing really technical here, there are some sharp turns and short, steep hills. The trail is all in the woods, therefore it should be good for summer. I've never seen the trail muddy, so we select this trail to ride after winter rains.
Beginners may have a rather hard time riding this trail. 		Overall Rating:
