Summary:
Although we had read the reviews on this site regarding the Deam lake trail we attempted to ride it anyway. On 6-21-08 we started up the trail, it had a uphill climb for about the first 1/8 mile then it flattened out for a short distance when it came to a pretty nice downhill. at the bottom of the hill we had to stop due to a tree across the trail past the tree it turned into a lot of horse muck and rough hoof ruts with a lot of standing water. We wound up carrying our bikes several times through the woods to avoid the mess.

Recommended Route:
There was no evidence that anyone had been riding anything but horses on this trail. I would not recommend this trail at all. I was very disappointed and will never attempt this trail again.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
cherokee park is very well maintained an is not a far drive from sellersburg

Summary:
I wouldn't recommend riding here. The loop is short, lots of horse muck. Even in the driest part of the year, the horse hoove holes filled with water create mosh pits.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Cherokee park, wilderness trail loop in Louisville. Just as close to clark county as deams lake and in much better shape.

Summary:
There didn't seem to be a lot of evidence of riding going on. Trail was overgrown in many parts with summer foliage but is well marked with blazes on trees. Better views of the lake in the fall. Watch out on downhill about .5 miles into trail where it drops off suddenly into a stream.

Recommended Route:
Trail #3 in the park. Trail is 3.3 miles long.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Nebo.

Reviewed by: roughrider , from indiana

Summary:
My first real trail, so keep in mind I'm a rookie. But anyways, it seemed very challenging at times, w/the long climbs and some very fast downhills. Very enjoyable, although it was a little wet when i went. At first there were several downed trees blocking the path, but then there was some great riding. I recommend a more experienced rider try it and review it.

Recommended Route:
I parked at campsite 7 and entered there. Rode til it came to a "T" and went right. Came out on the main road in front of the gatehouse
