This is a "Park" trail, so it is well maintained and used by locals. Doing the recommended route takes 2+ hrs. for experienced riders. Four hours for my girlfriend & I to enjoy the afternoon with a trail lunch.

Two ways to do this ride, fast or not so fast.

We both have good mountain bikes, and are good beginners and we just loved the ride. It has sandy banked turns, firm single track, and for the most part has gradual up hill sections and a few steep up grades. Very beautiful woods all along ride.

Coming down is fast and has a mixed use of runners and nature lovers, so stay within your safety/comfort zone. Can use the lake road as a short cut.
