It's Seneca Park, not senica. There is actually alot more trail than mentioned, but not all trails are open to bikes. Go to the Visitor Center off Clopper Rd to get a map, and stay off the hiker only trails. This is the same park that owns and maintains Schaffer Farm so lets keep them on our side. You will see alot of people on the Lake Shore Trail so be careful. The Long Draught and Mink Hollow loop is less used. If you enter off Riffle Ford Rd a good loop is to follow the gravel access road to the wetland area and take the trail past the lookout tower. This becomes Long Draught trail, follow it up to the road and cross over to the Lake Shore Trail. Go around the lake and turn left onto Mink Hollow, cross the road again and go down hill to the bridge across the creek, turn left (back onto Long Draught) and double back past the wetlands. About halfway back down the gravel road, turn left onto the single track for a nice short climb and a long fun downhill back to Riffle Fo
