Review: I went to this trail, and I could not find it. I was coming from Nashville and turned right off the exit and never found a Vista Dr. I did find some gravel roads and some power lines. These looked to be just logging roads. I got on my Bike and road around and never found any singletrack. If these trails do exsist could we get some idiot-proof instructions on how to get there. It was beautiful land that had lots of potential. Thanks.	Overall Rating:

Recommended Route: Try the gas line trail! Other recommended trails in the same area: Chi Alpha on 12th always rides come join if your interested.
Review: Just turn right from the parking area and go over the big sand stone rock, ride to the top of next hill and then turn left or right. The trail is not marked very well but is fun when you figure it out.	Overall Rating:
