This converted rail grade is raised enough that it sheds water very well. Even on a rainy day or after several days of rain, water on the trail is minimal. It's a great trail to run if you are in the area during a wet period or springtime.

Difficulty

The section is easy and flat converted rail grade. There's no need for 4x4 or even to lock the rear differential. After several days of rain in the area, this section of trail remains solid and doesn't have any large areas of deep water to cross. The surface is packed gravel without large rocks. Some of the areas have larger stones in the gravel but do not pose an issue. Do pay attention to the edge of the trail, as it can have steep banks since it is converted rail grade. Bridge crossings are well marked and are the only areas you need to use extra care and slow down.
