Mostly singletrack becoming 4WD at Lake Dispute before returning to singletrack. Watch for steep rocky descent at beginning of 4WD section that gets steeper halfway down. Maybe un-passable after snowfall in winter (except for a fat bike ). Can ride either way but from Lake Dispute towards Moke Lake the 4WD uphill is unrideable PITA.
