Recommended Route: Park where the dirt area is. This trail is outside Long Hunter State Park across the bridge. Other recommended trails in the same area: Hamilton Creek
Review: As of 4-2000 this loose network of trails was open to all types of users. It is very muddy during the spring. When the Lake is high some sections of trail are under 3 feet of water. The routes are good, some longer than others, with most running beside the Lake. You can spend 2 hours here easily. Lot of side routes away from the 4x4's. Watch for horses, motorcycles, and ATV's. It isn't as rocky as Hamilton Creek, giving you a chance to go fast on straight sections.	Overall Rating:
