|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
A little bit confusing - first trail sign shows trail straight ahead and parking to the right - there is nowhere to go on the right! Parked a bit downhill, then walked straight to discover there was a small parking area not too far past that sign. A little bit muddy, and probably not a good idea for real low riders, but otherwise accessible for most vehicles. |

 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
Minor and hoppable. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trail in good shape - water bars recently cleaned out. Two birch log blowdowns, about 6" diameter, on the ground, easily avoided. |

Black flies are out and sampling the buffet. |

 | Comments: |
Black Mountain in Benton. Trail is snow free and mostly dry. Much more tame of a walk as compared to the steep Chippewa Trail. Bellwort, trout lily, purple violet, yellow violet, and trillium wild flowers. |
