Summary:
Dog walking trail. I read the reviews here and went there to try it out but it is now gated off with a sign that says "no vehicles of any sort, foot trafic only" Usually im not one to abide by signs but i walked it for about a quarter mile and saw no reason to risk it. There were about a dozen people there walking their dogs. I was soooo disapointed I think we can take this trail off the list.

Recommended Route:
there is no trail to speak of

Ridden Trail:
Once a week

Reviewed by: ken , from charleston

Summary:
this trail is allright. i ride it about once a week. its all singletrack with some crazy steep climbs and some really technical sections if you can find them. ive heard rumors of a trail that runs all around the lake but i have yet to find it. when i do ill let you know

Recommended Route:
just turn left at the foot and ankle specialist and take the road all the way down to the "parking lot" deep ruts so be carefull with your car.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
try finding things off the side of the road. the police are pretty friendly if you feel like parking and messing around. just dont go on the north side of charleston

Ridden Trail:
Once a month

Reviewed by: Matthew , from Oak Lawn

Summary:
Steep climbs and descents nothing else. Not much else to mention but its potential. This trail really needs some work. EIU students, like me, should really put together a collective effort to make somthing useful out of this terrain. Any takers can email me at ilmountainbiker@mail2adventure.com

Recommended Route:
Enter from near sanitation plant and go down cement service road. You will run right into it.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Kickapoo
