Description

This is the first segment of singletrack in Kaplan's Woods. This segment has gentle elevation, and features some tight turns, a couple of small log-overs, and a bridge over the creek. The latter half has some nice flow, and the off-camber bench will keep you on your toes.

To get to the trail, from the parking lot head south on the main walking trail. At your first left, look for the trail entrance on the SE corner of the intersection. The singletrack crosses a walking path multiple times, so keep your eyes open for the signage. The singletrack ends back on the main walking trail close to where it started, making it easy to take multiple laps. To continue to the other singletrack loops, hang a left at the walking path and cross the bridge.

Be sure to bring bug spray during the wet season in the summer.
