Unfortunately, the rifle range nearby has fenced off one of the trails. I was up there a week ago and I was shocked that a brand new steel fence has completely encircled the trail. It is the shorter trail of the two. The other tree heads to the Atlantic Playland in Lucasville.

great trail. ride it all the time. unless u ride it in the middle of summer after a few weeks with no rain there will be puddles. depending on which trail u take the puddle size varies. the largest ive encountered is about 2 feet deep with another foot of mud underneath. wear old clothes. dont hit puddles at high speeds (i speak out of experience).

This is a large area. Within the area you will find an excelent X-country coarse, a free ride park, with man made and natural drops. There are dirt jumps, several powerline and 4-wheeler roads.

the combination of trails that make up jackslake trail/ sackville powerlines is great if you take different routes you can end up going to all different places. in the summer there is bikers,atvs,and 4wdtrucks out there nevermind all the hikers.
