Rode trail on Aug. 30, 2026 from Mercer 40 miles almost to Saynor, and back again.
Pros: For the first 30 miles, this trail is as good as it gets. Incredibly well paved and beautifully maintained. Little ups, downs, turns, good views and variety but low difficulty.
Cons: The 10 miles I rode from Boulder Junction to Saynor was older and need of maintenance with many frost heaves, root incursions, and blind curves that required a careful eye to look out for people coming the other way. There are several short but incredibly spiky hills in this section that might force many riders to walk them. Signage along the entire route was lacking.
Bottom line: All that said, this is a trail that people should seek out...it's excellent!
It’s a pretty trial that connects to Heart of Villas trial system. We biked from St Germaine to Sayner. Just keep in mind there is a “very steep hill” with warning signs as you get close ¿¿ to walk your bike which I didn’t do and fell off my bike going back up the hill (scraped my elbow) but it could have been worse 😜
We rode this fun, curving trail on a beautiful day in late May. It must have been resurfaced for the Memorial Day weekend, because it was in perfect condition, very smooth for a crushed gravel trail. We rode the lower part to Three Lakes and back so can’t speak to the top half.
We rode this trail in June last year on our e-bikes . Beautiful bridges and woods. My only advise is to use tick spray and don’t stop to long. The ticks were really bad . Use protection definitely.
This is an amazing biking and walking trail for all skill levels. I love walking this trail with my family and friends. My grandkids are all age ranges and even the littlest enjoys these walks. The flora and fauna are beautiful in all seasons and the gorgeous Wolf River runs next to it. I recently had a hip replacement and the trail is so well maintained I have no fear of hitting a snag and taking a tumble. The solitude of the forest, the bird songs and river sounds make this a treasure. I highly recommend all walkers and bikers to explore this treasure.
Our walking club walks this trail frequently due to the scenery and easy walking to bridges that overlook Nine Mile Creek and the Wolf River. We have all ability levels ages 26 to 76. We’ve seen turtles, eagles, wild flowers and we can eat blackberries along the way. We love this trail and hope to keep it non motorized. It is a gem.
I tried out the trail in Watersmeet. Even my 700c by 45mm gravel tirees were no match for the loamy rutted ATV trail that was full of wash board bumps. The trail is so rough, even the local ATVers use the road instead wherever they can.
Forgot.. it’s quite hilly! ¿ Curvy too.. The asphalt in Caspian is a bit rough but the trails are worth it!
I’m not sure why there’s no reviews for this trail, but it’s very pretty with lots of history. It seems short, but on the Caspian end it hooks up with Heritage Trail taking you to Pentoga Park. It’s just over 9 miles one way. Very scenic and pretty (especially in Fall) runs along the road and crosses it several times. Whole way is paved with shady spots and benches.
Pretty and peaceful. It’s paved in Phelps but turns to gravel not longer after. Shaded mostly. I’m sure the tamaracks are really pretty in Fall. The ice cream store in Phelps is open till mid Sept, awesome place to get ice cream n baked goods after your ride.
Unless you have a fat tire and don’t mind ATVs have at it. I tried with my gravel bike and turned back after about 50 feet.
