Family Friendly A great easy to intermediate loop for families and kids!

Closed during deer hunting seasons.

Description

The Boulder Loop is a fast, carving singletrack loop with a great scenic overlook of Lake Shelbyville. Starting off of Ag Pass, the start of the loop winds along the shore of Ninth Street Cove with great views of Lake Shelbyville. The trail has some gradual ups and downs but nothing too challenging.

You can connect to Split Rock Loop trail on the north side for some additional mileage or loop back around to where you started at Ag Pass.

a few trees down on the trails but just look at them as obstacles that are not permanent.
