Trail Update:
The Orange Trail is now available to ride. There was a big tree down blocking the trail at the beginning. It has been removed. We did a major amount of work, trimming back and marking however with the recent windy conditions you may come upon others. If you do, kindly take photos and an estimate of your location and send it to us.
The attached video shows the trail around a planted field which could be confusing.
Happy Trails!
