Good hiking trail, a lot of diversity in terrain and in views, which makes it fun. This trail is not very well marked and it is easy to get lost. Using a map is suggested or go with someone who is familiar with the trail. While hiking this trail, it is advisable to be on the lookout for bikers. We had a couple close calls but if you pay attention, you'll be fine. Our dog loved this trail and had fun taking a break to swim in the river.

I personally love Sac trails. I hike, bike and trail run there. Trails are very tight and technical on MTB and runs. Hiking is good with the kids and just to spend time in God's handwork. Advice: pack water and know your trail(map). 10 years ago as a newbie, it was fairly easy to get turned around in the upper portion of the trails. If on the bike, wear a helmet, and pack a spare tube... plenty of Locust thorns. Otherwise, enjoy this very quiet trail system.
Trails could be better marked. Good trail for hiking or biking.

First real attempt at mountain biking. Probably should have used the beginners trail! But has a great time and didn't crash on the moderate one. Loved it, now I'm hooked.
