The area to the north is Peters Mill Run Trail, a 12 mile, moderately challenging rocky jeep trail loop with occasional creek crossings, while Taskers Gap to the south offers some challenging ATV trail loops. The two areas combined offer about 40 miles of trails to explore. A permit is required to ride here and can be purchased at local vendors or by mail.
