“A flowy beginner-friendly trail that starts at the campground. ”

— Nate Hawkins
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Please don't ride when the trail is wet.

Yield to hikers and climbing riders.
Features: -none- [Add/Remove]
Dogs: Leashed

Description [Suggest Changes]

Locals often like to say that Limekiln feels like it's downhill in both directions; frequent grade reversals mean that the climbs are never too long, and long straight sections mean that you can move pretty fast on this trail.

Limekiln is beginner friendly; there is little climbing and few technical features, though beginners should keep an eye open for a couple rooty and rocky areas. The relative easiness of this trail and its accessibility to the campground make it a a favorite trail with families.

Limekiln meets Walnut Trail at the Hoosier's Nest.
