Trail Description:
CAMBA-maintained trail that is continually growing AND legal. Check out www.joinomba.org/camba for more info. Nice rolling singletrack with a few semi-technical spots.

How to get there:
Travel approximately 5 miles east of Ravenna on Rt.5. Look for park sign, turn right off Rt.5 onto Rock Springs Rd., travel over the lake and just near the middle of a rise turn left onto Cable Line Rd. Cable Line dead ends quickly so at this point turn left into boat parking lot and the trailhead and kiosk is on the right. Park on the grass but watch for mud.

Additional Notes:
PLEASE do NOT ride when muddy. Enjoy!

For Ohio, this is very good mountain biking. I hope it sets a precedent for other trails in the greater Cleveland area.(like the Metro Parks)P.S. Thanks CAMBA!

Great trail for strong riders, if you dont wipe out at least once you are doing something wrong. I loved it, I have went 5 time since.

totally awesome, tons of nasty single track no wider than my handlebars, techie, some good descents, all well marked. Lots of terrain. Worth the trip. Well maintained, thanks CAMBA PS- donny denny is clueless.

West Branch is by far the best trail system in north east Ohio. It gives you nice fast flowing sections with easy to moderate climbs on the lake side. Then go to the other side for all the rock gardens and technical fun.Amazing trail for ohio! I don't know you donny denny, but you aparently missed over half the trail.

Been here twice in the past month. Everything we have rode so far has been good. Nice mix of medium technical stuff and hills. Been muddy but fun. Good for beginner intermediate riders. Haven't hit the more technical trails yet.

fun trail, closest real Mtn biking to Cleveland. newer sections offer some technical but very ridable riding. whole trail with all loops maybe 8-9 miles.

Though the rating implies that there are no technical sections there is one trail that i have found which is extremely technical. I found it by accident. It is near the middle of the loop and there is a small sign which says experts only. If you want a rocky, tough trail try to find this. Otherwise, the other trails were muddy, too wide, and not technical at all.
