| DESCRIPTION |
This state forest area boasts 25 miles of single-track motorcycle trails that range from moderate to very difficult with some nice forest scenery. Most of the trails are fairly rocky and there are no ATV trails. There are many parking entrances but there is only one designated motorcycle staging area. The parking area near the ranger station offers picnic areas, restrooms, and a wading pool but note that mosquitoes are sometimes a nuisance in the evening hours. Snowmobiles are allowed during winter months.
