Definitely a must ride trail if you live within 50 miles of wetumpka. For the most part, the trail steadily flows up and down-- only a couple of steep climbs and drops. The best feature of this trail is that it loops around so much that you never really get that far away from where you started but you still get in a good 8 or 9 miles. This is nice b/c you can head back to your car pretty easily if you don't want to finish. Good views of Lake Jordan.

Swayback Bridge is a good local trail. I prefer taking the trail counterclockwise; seems to flow better. Hint: ride after 10am and chances are other bikers have already knocked all of the many spiders that span sections of the trail (some are fairly big and right square at eye level!).

it's not great for boards. would be better for bikes. lots of roots & spiced up with rocks. good fun. fairly narrow. not too fast. i might just look elsewhere; a little too flat for my liking. great for easy hiking.
