Sad to say it's just not what it used to be. The end by the gravel pit does have many no tresspassing signs up. Back in early 2000 myself and a couple of riding buddies was able to talk to the owner that bought the mineral rights about blocking off that portion of the trail. He was real nice about it but due to some vandalism and liability issues he has to keep it that way.

Where Fish Lake trail goes over Marshall road is where I access the trail. Someone built a house back in the cul de sac so I do stay away from him. Turned left and rode besides the tracks for a couple of hundred yards to pick up the trail. There is still a lot of ATV/dirt bike use so the trail is a little loose but fun. One main problem is the guys riding up the steep sandy climbs from the RR tracks is causing some major errosion on the hill side and trail.

During the spring I rode the trail that goes right from my entry point and that trail climbs up to the state land. They had done some logging at the top but it's still ride able. The down hill is fine and the trail comes out on Thorpe rd.
