Trail Description:
Its basically all roots, rocks at times and logs around the trail. you need tech skills to get through some of it and the rest is fun. there are little creeks on some of the trails. Watch out for big drops and fallen trees and logs. (not something you can just jump off, these are big drops and the landing is not clear. if you decide to jump off you'll end up in the trees. (if some of you still decide to go for it, no worries the hospital is close by). there are trails all around the area, follow the direction and you can explore the trails yourself.

How to get there:
There are a couple of ways to get there:

1) park in the Hospital that is on the Intersection of US29 and Harris. (if you are going N 29, it will come up on your right), go to the north side of the hospital and look for a small lake downhill. ride down to the lake and at the edge of the lake is a gate, go in there and look for the trail and you'll end up finding a whole bunch.

2) Other way is to go to UNC Charlotte and go to the Softball field, (the softball field, baseball field, tennis courts and soccer field are all in that one area)

go over to the end of the Softball field and go up to the empty ground and look around for the trail start)

Additional Notes:
There are a whole lot of trails around and some of them are technical.
