Some Mud, Fallen Trees - These trails need maintenance. Nevertheless, they are a lot of fun! There are some wet sections, but they are mostly drainage History

“Rollers and roots and some flow make for a fun bit. Big stream crossing in the middle.”

Description

Mac's Gap Trail #482 is a fun section of singletrack that can be combined with a number of possible loops inside Panthertown. It's not too hard, but has some short technical sections. The major obstacle is a creek crossing that often will require you to dismount and walk through thigh deep water.
