Overview
Murray Lake Trail is more moderate and flowy - perfect for intermediate riders not quite ready for technical riding.
Description
The Murray Lake Trail is between 7 and 9 miles long depending on which loops you ride and is considered a more moderate trail. This trail contains much more flowing singletrack.
Combine both for a great day of riding.
