The trail is actually pleasent to ride, but very poorly maintained, the state has done very little other than lay claim to the trail.
The trail is mostly 'stamp sand' tailings from the copper mines that were prevalent in the area 100 years ago. There are spots of loose beach type sand, loose crushed rock, plain old mud and exposed/removed culverts (with two 2x6 boards as a bridge) and even grass.
Trail width varies greatly from 2 feet wide with trees and brush on both sides, to 15 feet wide with no obstructions.
This trail splits the yards of local residents, houses on one side and lake/beach access on the other. Trees, brush and grass encroach on the trail, plus many homeowners have added crushed rock, dirt, grass and other 'debris' in order to re-claim the land from the state.
During the summer of 2011 some local children dug a hole to make a motorbike jump, making pedal biking a danger in this area.
