Trail Description:
Fun. And Lots of it. A favorite with the locals. Single track, switchbacks, mud, sand, and lots of log crossings. A special part of the course is the "PlayGround". A rolling set of bmx style jumps, dropoffs, and a few vertical drops. Sick. BMX riders like to hang there, but Mountain bikes rule the place. There is miles and miles of fire roads for family rides.
How to get there:
From Jacksonville: Go South on HWY 17 towards Wilmington. Once you pass the Marine Corps Air Station's backgate, continue on for about 1 mile. Once you pass the bridge, get in the left lane and look for the (left) turning lane. You will be turning onto a dirt road with a Yellow gate at the end. That is where you park. Trail head is right there.
Additional Notes:
US Goverment Property, but you don't need a pass to park. Game Warden might question you, but t

The trail is open from 1 Jan- 31 Aug closed for hunting season. If you are allowed on Base you can ride it. Signs are posted through out the trail. They had problems with with riders and hunters in the past.

If you are caught on this trail you will be cited for trespass on government property, if not affiliated with the base. If you are affiliated with the base and the area is closed due to training, you will be cited and possibly loose driving privileges on base.

Riding on this trail is actually illegal even if you have access to the base. It is set aside as a training area, and mountain bikers/runners are not permitted. Whats more at least part of the year it is set aside for use by deer hunters! Great way to get yourself shot if you ask me. No thanks. Not worth the risk of taking a bullet or getting cited for trespassing.

Had a great ride, but was given a ticket for
trespassing on federal property. You MUST have a
pass from the main gain at the air station and you
can only get one if you have a "sponsor" on base.
Save yourself the hassle (and expense of a fine) and
find another trail.

Lots of fun to be had here--the first portion is well marked and ends in the bmx pit. The rest of the trail goes in each section of the trees divided by the dirt road intersection. Enjoy!

Just rode this trail for the first time on Saturday. Only my 2nd time really "mountain" biking. The trail was pretty good, not too long. Had lots of roots, some good climbs. Also had plenty of bridges, balance beam, teeter-totter, and a sweet BMX section, if that's your thing.
