Mostly intermediate trail, with a few red sections towards the middle of the trail. The trail has great canopy throughout and all hardpack, even in the middle of Florida's brutal summer. The trail contains some pretty good short technical, challenging climbs followed by abrupt, shifty descents. You'll find a few little bridges over water and some really sweet ridge line sections with a couple areas leaving no margin for error. Lots of roots towards the end of the trail, almost too much, a bit redundant after a while. The trail is, for the most part, well marked, but a few areas are bit confusing and you may need to stop and think for a second.
About 10 miles North of route 100 and 3 miles North of Palm Coast Parkway on A1A. Palm Coast Parkway has a toll bridge to get to beachside, so if you're coming from South, get off at 100 to avoid toll. Park on the West side of A1A in the Bings Landing/Mala Compra Plantation parking lot. Cross A1A towards the South end of the parking lot, you'll see the marked cross walk. You'll see the brown Mala Compra sign right on A1A. Heading East into the woods, pass the sign about 50 yards. The trail entrance will be on the right hand side, next to a black chain link fence (check out photo album.)
