This trail was poorly marked and had me lost even with the trail map I got on my way in. I do not recommend riding this unless you are a solid intermediate or advanced rider. VERY steep climbs and descents, pretty technical, and TONS of roots and rocks. I would like to go back when I can choose a dry day. Definitely would be more fun in dry conditions. Park has a bath house for campers but is unlocked with hot water for showering off the mud, changing clothes and putting on neosporin. Puddles hid several significant roots which led to my main wipe out. I enjoyed despite eating mud three times. Bigger problem is where single track sloped to the side down hill making bike slip out from under you after coming down off a root. Underlying surface when not root or rock is red clay which was very slippery making tires spin out on steeper upgrades.

The trail does not maintain cell phone connectivity for its entirety nor does the parks free WiFi. Only one stop with a tree across the trail but folks are beating a path around it. As stated, the trail was well maintained and marked and definitely had high protruding roots as the primary obstacle. It had rained heavy and fairly long that night so we expected the wet trail but did not give it enough credit for the advanced challenge. We are probably a little better than beginner looking for more challenge. Rode trail the morning of 11 July 2015 with my daughter on our way to bungee jump off Youngs High Bridge in Kentucky, time 0630.
