Trail Description:
SEE ADDITIONAL NOTES: This is one of the best in the Raleigh / Durham area. Several stream crossings, tight single track, logs and rocks galore, not to metion a few prime oportunities to catch some air. Some challanging, short steep climbs and descents. This is a pretty "wild" ride, meaning that on a normal day when the foliage is full, you won't see another rider, house, or sign of humanity (very pretty ride). Based on definitions given I would rate this somwhere between "weekend warrior" and "Advanced".

How to get there:
US route 1 to Route 98 West. Imediately after route 50 overpass there is an intersection with a traffic light, (Gloldstons lumber on the right). Right at this light. 1/2 mile. to a pull off on the left w/ a small parking area and a cable across a fire road. Bike down the road, and the trail head is on the right aprox. 50 yards beyond the cable.

Additional Notes:
THIS TRAIL SUBJECT TO THE SAME LIMITATIONS AS THE NEWLIGHT TRAILS: ONLY ON SUNDAY DURING HUNTING SEA
