February 28, 2021Great, easy hike! Very icy, needed microspikes today although I saw a couple people without them. Got lost a few times-a lot of trails run together here (yellow, yellow/red, yellow/black, red, pink, blue. Just had to keep my eyes peeled and follow this app for navigation. Nice hike for families
February 28, 2021February 28, 2021February 6, 2021We hiked this trail in the snow. A very nice hike with a great view at the top. The area does have many trails so keep an eye out and using Alltrails will help. I would classify this hike as more toward easy than moderate. Parking was adequate on Line Road.
January 24, 2021January 18, 2021This trail was SO confusing. We had a lot of fun but it turn into over 6 miles because there are very limited trail markers. No biggie to us but started to be a little frustrating when we started getting tired!
January 10, 2021nice trails lead to lookout that has benches to enjoy your lunch or a rest. there are so many trails that it is confusing. if I didnt have my all trails app, we would have not been able to follow this loop.
January 10, 2021Poorly marked
January 1, 2021This is a family friendly trail that is rated moderate but tends more toward the easy side. The trails are wide and fit for mountain biking. Most of the trails were blazed but hard to see as a gray blaze doesn't stand out very well. The photo opt spots marked on the map were underwhelming. The cellar hole was nothing more than a large hole in the ground with some water in it. There was no foundation ruins as I had anticipated. I am still scratching my head over the cut rock. I saw nothing of consequence where cut rock was supposed to be. The scenic overlook at Lookout Mountain was nice but the mishmash of trails there was confusing at best. There are a lot of mountain bikers using these trails so dogs should be leashed.
January 1, 2021January 1, 2021December 28, 2020Be aware that there is a chain across the trail about 1/4 mile in saying “no trespassing until after 12/31” due to it being a heavily hunted area. Mountain bikers were ignoring it but we turned around and drove to a different trailhead
November 22, 2020November 15, 2020The trail starts across the street from the parking lot. Nice hike with a wonderful view from the mountain lookout, but no other views along the loop.
November 14, 2020November 6, 2020October 25, 2020The trail up the mountain and back was tremendous for mountain biking. The view from the top is great, with a lot of open space. The trail is a Forrest setting for sure, and part of the trail is very thin leaving only one lane for mountain bikers going in either direction. A lot of rocks at times, but all in all very fun.
October 24, 2020October 18, 2020Great scenery and view at the top. Poorly marked. Needed to use gps a few times.
October 4, 2020Not well marked on the hike up, and on the way down had to check the app to make sure we were following the loop (trail markers changed three times). But a nice hike. No bugs.
October 4, 2020October 3, 2020Good! Hard to follow at some points but the map helped. The trail starts across the road from the parking lot
September 20, 2020September 19, 2020This trail was very well marked and starts off with a nice incline that targets those hamstrings. The summit via features a nice view of the states capital area. Be sure to read the signs clearly or you may end up in a parking lot vs. the end of the trail that passes by the pretty river.
