InFORMATION
These single-track trails through wooded areas offer options for every level rider. The Back 40 loop includes an amazing hanging bridge cut into a rock bluff and another bridge that spans a creek with a waterfall.
The outer loop of the Back 40 system is true cross-country singletrack trail that offers something for everyone, including bridges, bluffs, limestone rock gardens, lake views, meadows, a golf course crossing and sections through pine tree groves.
The northern part of this multi-section trail features short climbs and steep descents, with plentiful rollers and bermed switchbacks – a favorite among mountain bikers. The one-way downhill only section begins at York Drive (north to south), and is about a mile total, ending at the Lake Ann trailhead. NOTE: One-way from York to Castleford, north to south – hikers beware of downhill bikers.
One of the more technical sections in the Back 40 system, this trail consists of rugged rock sections, overhanging bluffs, and narrow, technical trail for about one-half mile. Watch your head as you duck to traverse beneath the overhanging limestone bluffs.
The fun, flowy connector trail is geared more toward beginner levels, and offers a cutoff between the Back 40 Loop trail on the far east side of the system and the Rago trail. The section winds along Commonwealth road, and terminates on the west end at the Metfield Clubhouse.
This trail connects the Back 40 Loop and the Ledges with varied terrain for everyone, minus steep or extended climbs or descents. Trail features include limestone slab, creek crossings, berms and switchback sections, with the opportunity to take a short detour to the top of Lake Brittany via the intersection with the Brittany Dam trail.
This Back 40 Loop connector trail features an easy grade climb/descent on the eastern section and a sharper, long and steep grade on the western section, fro the fire station to the creek bed below. The Metfield Skills park sits along the Rago trail, east of the fire station.
If traveled north to south, SBAT offers a long descent to the valley floor with flowing section so f trail, after a short climb across Hwy. 340 to Bedford Lane.
Labeled difficult only for its steep grades, this trail features an up-one-side-down-the-other design from both directions, with the section north from the peak at Sandhurst Drive about twice as long as the section south. The section south of Sandhurst is especially steep, winding and narrow for a short distance.
This connector trail has mild ascents on both ends, with the shorter west end climb steeper than the more gradual east end incline. The trail consists of a gravel base and rocky, loose soil in some sections. At the top, the trail exits the canopy and enters an open field, then enters the canopy again after about a mile traverse.
A trail offering a deep-woods feel with technical rock ledges and narrow spaces for about one mile between sections of gradual climbs and descents.
Short – less than 500 feet – but rated difficult for gnarly technicality. This alternate trail, parallel to Pinyon Creek, follows a creek bed and is almost entirely rock surface.
Pick either direction and ride the rolling trails. Feel like that wasn’t enough? Add on the Tunnel Vision and Land Line loop for extended play. The Down Under trail is a 4.5 mile loop with vertical climbs and long sweeping descents. This trail is easily accessed by the parking area off of Cedar Crest Drive. The Down Under Loop is well groomed but rated for the intermediate rider.
A 2.11 mile intermediate trail that connects with the 25 mi Tunnel Vision Loop and the 2.0 mi Tweety Bird Loop to extend your ride.
A 25 mile loop of intermediate riding includes sweeping rides, scenic views and not surprisingly, a tunnel. Lots of climbing is rewarded with epic fast downhill runs. Connects with Down Under Loop to extend your ride. Multiple parking areas along the trail for convenience and easy access.
The approximately 2 mile Tweedy Bird loop is the easiest ride of the Little Sugar Trail System. Well groomed and extra wide trails are perfect for the beginning mountain biker. This trail is super easy and rolls along the natural contour of the land, with not much climbing or descending. Bring the family and enjoy the ride!
