Description

Nearly 11 miles of logging roads are ideal for walking, running, or biking. The main loop is five miles long, taking adventurers through a variety of forest types and wetlands that make up this managed woodland. While the trails are along gravel roads, be aware that some sections of the road system are bumpy and rutted.

Please note that there are a few private land owners who have camps inside our property, so you may encounter an occasional vehicle while hiking/biking.
