Trail Description:
One of the best kept secretes in ohio,
Un less you grew up in Northampton and have been going there for years. The main loop has several steep down hills that plumit you 100 feet down into a ravine. You also encounter many creek crossings,log jumps ( With one jump shooting you 10-15 feet)and three, what we like to call"log slides."(A rideable, fallen tree) Most of the trails are fast and rolling while winding you in and out of trees.
How to get there:
Steelscorners rd. south on Northampton rd. right on Thiess rd. unmarked trail on the right, half way down the first hill
Additional Notes:
Do not be affraid to explore. There are many new sections most people do not find.

Looks like it's off-limits; I was there, today (or at least thought I was) and no trail-heads or entry 1/2 way down first hill off Thiess; Sounds fun, but looks to be nothing but trouble to find and actually ride.

i went looking for it today and got to bath and akrn pen rd, and looked to my left and all i saw was the black fence for a long while, then i went past some truck place to my right and finally turned around in the towpath raquetball club parking lot... is it after the fence? how far after?

It was a good training ride for my girlfriend to start with. Strongly recommended for anyone who is just starting out riding.

that entrance is no longer there. you will get busted going in through there. there is too much traffic and if the cops catch you they will bust you for tresspassing.it is sealed up.

to mr stow.if you want to ride,we go every sunday morning aroun 630-700 am.we just got done building a whole new section that is just kick ass fast.the entrance is just south of bath rd and ak pen.rd.if you park at the intersection and bike down a quarter of a mile look to your left.the fence runs flat and then there is a hill.go up the hill and you will find the entrance.if you go past the hill you will see a lane way with a gate.you went to far.however if you have never been there before you will never find the trails.that is why we recommend meeting us there.we can get you back and show you the way around.once you find everything the trail rocks,but like i said you have to ride with someone who knows the area to make it an enjoyable ride or it will just be frustrating trying to find everything.
