MOUNTAIN BIKING: Two Lick Trail

← VA BACK CREEK SUNRISE VA Single Tracks →

Description

Two lick is a short very smooth singletrack loop trail that can be ridden in either direction. However it is best ridden counter clockwises. Two Lick Bottom Trail splits Two Lick trail into two parts and can be ridden to add miles to the 5 mile
main loop. Our favorite is to ride it counter-clockwise, then start back up again and come down Two Lick Bottom. This makes for 8 or 9 miles and if you come out of Two Lick Bottom and then do the loop clockwise (totally different feel) you can get just short of 15 miles.

Great trail for beginners to expert. The trail climbs a bunch, not real steep, just long. Do not bail out though because your climb will be rewarded with over half of the 5 mile loop being an easy rolling narrow downhill singletrack.

There is one bridge on the access trail, one on Two Lick trail and three on Two Lick Bottom trail. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RIDE THESE BRIDGES. EXTREMELY SLICK - ALWAYS !

Directions

Take Rt.39 east of Marlinton, WV to the intersection of Rt.92 at Rimel just before the VA state line. Go south on Rt.92 approx. 2 miles and watch for Pocahontas Campground (National Forest Campground). Park in the first parking area on the left. Trail begins on your left. The loop doesn't start till you go down the trail, across a foot bridge and another 1/10 mile up the trial. You will be able to go right or left at the intersetion. If you go right, you will pass Two Lick Bottom Trail in a short distance. See best description below.
