Phone: 904-277-7274
Length: 6 miles
Difficulty: Beginner
Description: The trail is very well managed by the park (note: be careful of hikers, they are allowed to simultaneously hike the trail in the opposite direction.) It's what I call a sharpen your skills track because you can do everything in one ride. It starts off kind of fast with just a few small hills and quick turns, then starts to get a little better, you start to hit some pretty steep ascents, followed by some descents. After you reach 1/4 of the way it starts into a decent technical section where you have to hop and navigate some roots along the way. after that you are about halfway done, the trail crosses the road and you start the second half back to the fort. The second half combines all three and that is what I love the most about the trail. You are running at speed while jumping logs, ascending and descending hills, navigating roots and ditches, its a blast. Average completion time of the trail is about 42 minutes. If you are good you could do it in about 33 to 35 minutes.
