A flat link trail that lets riders get between Nursery Rd. And the 8 Mile Gate entry to the forest without riding on the road or car park at the trailhead. The trail is two-way and it splits in places to allow for better flow, stay left. Bridges have been removed and the track is nice and wide. Please use this trail and stay off the road.
