Mountain Biking
Mountain biking and hiking trails start 500m down the road from the cabin. Simply turn left out of the driveway. There are no maps once you reach the forest and much of the routes are on old logging roads. Please stay aware of your route and watch for bikers.
Biking trails: The local biking community has created great resources for riders including an interactive map of trails:
Waterfall Hike: If you take the path going straight in front of you ( you’ll quickly come across a small plank bridge) and then turn right, you’ll find signs indicating the route to the waterfall. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk to the waterfall with lots of exploring to be done once you arrive.
