Family Friendly Smooth trail, old doubletrack that has partially grown in to singletrack, almost no roots.

Description

This trail seems to get less traffic than some of the others. It's a fun, smooth trail that used to be doubletrack, likely from logging, but since it doesn't get used much plants have grown in and it's more of a wide singletrack.
