This area is alright if looking for service road riding and trails pretty heavily impacted by horse traffic. The tread, though ridable, was pretty loose on most hills and the brush got a bit claustrophobic is some areas. Oh, and there was a lot of horse poop.  Four horses passed me without incident, though on the last one the rider did ask if she (the horse) could smell my bike, as it was young and nervous. Whatever it takes to maintain good relations with the equestrian folks! The black bear ran up the road in front of me near the intersection of the Beaver Pond Road and road leading to Hermit Trail. I was underwhelmed by my first experience here and am not sure I'll head back for a second taste.
