Only the northern half of this trail is open to bikes. The section from the Lake Side Campground to the Middle Hollow Trail.

Description

Since only a portion of this trail is open to bikes, you would only access the trail from the Middle Hollow Trail or Lakeside Campground. It's fun to ride around a portion of the lake. This is also a great hiking trail around the western side of the lake, especially for kids.
