Description

This is a great trail that is very beginner friendly. The initial climb to the the inner and outer loops is a steep and rocky technical stretch but the rest of the tail is super smooth and fast. The trail weaves in and out of the oak hickory forest and around some ponds and many sinkholes.

Morning view. 1.5 hours after sunrise. Looking north. The majority of trail is this width with a few narrow spots going between trees.

Cliff Cave main entrance. Short but STEEP hike down from the biking trail. Best to avoid hike if rained during previous day or two.

Spring valley trail access is wrong on map. Take the paved multiuser trail across the bridge heading west, turn right up the hill. Trail crosses
