As of Sunday (09-02) the trail was in best condition I've ridden it. This trail is 13 miles of work, with a constant mogul-like flow to it with smaller rocks than at Rock Lake and Hildebrand, but more roots and twists and climbing over its 13 miles. The trail is tighter also. We averaged 6.6 miles and it took us 2.30 hours, but we were taking our time. Even though there are no spectacular lake sites, its a beautiful trail system with a deeper forest setting. There were two areas that could use some trimming in the open logged areas with rose thorn scratching your legs. But other then that there was not one tree down the entire 13 miles. I've ridden this several times and it is not as fast and flowing as the Rock Lake cluster, but its worth the ride for something different to try. This trail is located behind Telemark Lodge and is clearly marked the entire way. About 3 miles into the trail from Telemark Lodge, you will come to a Camba marked intersection, just continue forward, and don't turn left. This is one big loop where you will return on. There is one more intersection, and you will veer left also. The other way leads to a sink-hole which is just a point of 'interest' . Have fun with this, but avoid the restaurant at Telemark. They recently changed management and the food was what you get in a hospital.
