Description

This is a good intermediate 2.25-mile loop with a few short climbs. The trail is also used by runners and hikers. Keep an eye out for the signs which denote the direction change.

The loop is short enough that a walk out isn't bad if necessary.

There's also a pump track available in the park!

For more info, check out the Jacob Fork Woodland Trail Web Site.
