East/West Regional Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a relatively gentle multi-use trail; you could probably get by with a gravel bike, but it's definitely not made for skinny tires. Altogether the trail is about 27 miles one-way, and there are easily a half-dozen trail connectors to help you shape the perfect ride.

I often see deer, turkey, and rattlesnakes here. Keep your eyes open. Be cautious around blind curves. Great flowing singletrack with a few intermediate sections.
