This is a difficult intermediate trail. There are no easy trails here. Bring lots of water as there are no bail outs. Make sure you are riding with a buddy to be safe. <br />
<br />
Total trail length is about 12 miles and the average time to ride will be around 2 hours. The trail is soft and slow as it is new but as more people ride it, the faster it will get. This trail will challenge you physically so beware. <br />
<br />
If you are feeling unsure of your ability by the time you reach the picnic table sized (terrapin) rock or the triangle of logs, you can turn around and head back to the parking lot. That will still be a good ride of about 4 miles to the rock and back or 6 miles to the triangle of logs and back. <br />
<br />
This trail is blazed with blue paint, It starts from the parking area's west side, look for the blue blazes, they are opposite the yellow blazes. After about 2 miles you'll come to a picnic table sized rock that looks like a terrapin, head right and down the slope, then about 1.5 miles later you'll come to a triangle of logs, go straight, you will see a "one way" sign up on a tree on the left side, this begins the one way mega loop of about 7 miles till you return to the picnic table terrapin rock and then go straight (not left and down hill or you'll go back to the beginning of the loop) and head back along the same trail that you rode from the parking lot. Keep your eyes open for the blue blazes that indicate a turn, if you don't see any markers, you missed a turn or are going the wrong way. There are no arrows to follow, only blue blazes. <br />
<br />
This trails cross both hiking and horse trails. Both hikers and horses have right of way. <br />

LIE to exit 70 and head south, go past the 7/11, at Halsey Manor Road there is a new Fire House on the right corner. Go a half mile past there and you will see a sign for Hotwater St. on your right but you are making a left at the u-turn lane. You will see the sign for Manorville Hills County Park and take the gravel road to the parking lot. You can only see the sign for the park when your on the east side of route 111 heading north. If you miss this turn take any of the next turns and get to the north bound side of 111. Once you are in the gravel parking lot, you will see a sign for the hiking trail head, diagonally across from that you will see a blue blaze on a skinny tree near a small dirt mound. That is the beginning of the mountain bike trail. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Hey westies! It's only a 45 minute drive from exit 45 on the LIE, expand your riding realm. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Or from 27 head north for about two miles till you see the Manorville Hills County Park sign on your right. If you come to the flashing light at Halsey Manor Rd...you've missed it.
