Trail Description:
This ride goes around Jenkinson Lake / Sly Park campground. Small cozy lake with State park campgrounds, scenic. Don't let the elevation fool you since it contains abrupt ups and downs. Good trail conditions. You can opt out for the pavement if the trail is too much. Recommend following trail counterclockwise.
How to get there:
East on US50. Exit Sly Park Road. Turn right and just after the Sly Park campground on the left, turn left at the Mormon Emigrant trail. This will take you across two dams. Park after the second dam and the trailhead is on the lake to your right.

I enjoy this trail very much. Every summer I will ride with my friends and go swimming as we ride, tehre are a few rope swings that you can swing into the water. There is a steep uphill that I heard only one person making it up and over the giant root. But I can ride the whole way without dismounting. Trail is 8-9 miles long and takes me an hour to ride it. during the cooler season the trail can get pretty cold/frosted around the inlet. There are 5-7 streams that go accross the trail that you have the choice to ride through, or be a puss and walk it.

I am just slightly above Novice and needed two hours for this trail. Several dismounts for uphill tree roots and rocks, but a beautiful ride that changes thru the year, depending on the water level in the lake...either the water is right at the trail at times, or there is a ledge, with the water receded about 50 yards. The writeup says the trail is to the right. Actually, it would read better if it said, "Trail begins across from roadside parking, with the lake to the left on a counterclockwise ride." Semantics perhaps, but there is a trail to the right and it could confuse. Enjoy!

Pretty good trail for about an hour ride. Just one steep rocky uphill can make you not to stay on the bycicle and that pretty much it! Try it !!!!
