“Great singletrack riding on the eastern side of Townsend State Forest”

— Kai Troester

E-Bikes Unknown

Features -none-

Description

Most of this very enjoyable singletrack is pretty smooth and well packed. There are however many spots where riders have to navigate exposed bedrock or smaller rocks that stick out of the trail. It is easiest when ridden south to north but can be ridden both ways.
