Trail Description:
Single track trails are real hard and advanced. Road trails are fast and fun. With many fun trails to chose from, all the single track trails are fun to ride, and sometimes you might not be able to ride over some of the objects on the course.
How to get there:
Drive from Poulsbo on HWY 3 to Bond road. Then ride to Stottlemyer down the rode to the trail head about 3 miles away.

I recomend that you go early in the morning like 8:30
before the horses get there, but there are many
hidden things that you can find in there off of the
beaten path such as drops, jumps, and other cool
obsticles.

I ride this trail every week... i live about 100yard from one of the entry points. There are a lot of hidden things that make these trail interesting. I know of a large network of bridges and a couiple very large drops... some great down hill trails. Its really hard to get lost... if you do get lost and cant find your way out you are dumb and should not be going out on trails with out a map. I only say this because, a friend and i were going to meet up and some one wonted to have him show them back to port gamble back about 3 miles. back to the review... there are a lot of horse riders.. they are extremely harsh on the trails and leave piles. Other then that its a great set of trails.

It's not Pope & Tlobet; it's Pope & Talbot. There are multiple entry points, and the field is huge, criss-crossed with fire roads and single tracks. If you're going in for the day, take a GPS and lots of water. A Thomas Road Guide is indispensible to finding the place. But the trails are excellent, although blackberries will take a toll on your shins.

I live about a 1/4 mile from the Hood Canal Bridge so, whenever I feel like biking, this network of trails is always ready to dish out something. I regularly bike these trails year-round, Pope Rescources does a great job at maintaining the logging roads, but in some spots there's some thick, loose gravel that can make you slip. The vast majority of trails are wide and open, near the Stotylmeyer area there are plenty of single track opportunities to choose from. All in all, these trails are convenient, sprawling, and quite a bit of fun for the "Weekend Warrior".

One of the best trails around the sound. I'm there at least every other day. You could spend hours out there on the roads, and I've found a very sweet downhill singletrack.

I ride this trail three times a week. It is a lot of fun. There are a lot of technical single tracks. But, a lot of fire roads that virtually anyone can handle. My wife really enjoys just riding the bumpy fire roads. Horses frequent the trails more then Bikes. But rarely you will see anyone except for a jogger or two. Careful though, the horses can't figure out if you are human or not on a bike. They get very scared. Suggestion: Stop when you see horse riders and let them know you are near.

Recent clearcutting has destroyed a few of the better single tracks. Still, lots of ways to loop on the logging roads and only a few occasional horses and bikes to contend with. Very dry.

Kind of a dry ride. Gentle rolls and a lot of the single tracks are thouroughly grown over but a lot of potential with fallen small logs and other jumping opportunities.
