Trail Description:
From its southern end near a horse camping area, the trail
winds through fields and hardwood forests along the south
fork of the Jacks River. It fords the river once before ending
at Forest Service Road 126A. Wildlife sightings are a common
occurrence in the grassy meadows. This is a good ride
for novice mountain bikers and horse riders. The Benton
MacKaye hiking trail merges with this trail for a short distance.
