#117 of 307 mountain bike trails in Oregon
This trail can be appropriatly called a network with a loop. There are signs marking the main trail that leads to Floras Lake and stunning views of the ocean. The trail is in good condition and offers some challenging features to give experienced riders a little fun. Trail is rarely occupied and is rideable all year long. Great for beginners. Caution when going onto unmarked fingers. Its easy to get lost if you dont know the area.

Off the 101 highway between Port Orford and Langlois. The turn off to get to the entrance is called Airport Road. The road is directly across from Pacific High School. Proceed all the way down the 3 mile road till it dead ends at the Airfield. Plenty of parking. Trail can also be accessed by floras lake. Just follow the brown park signs.
This trail was enormous fun. I rode south from Floras lake to the airstrip, out to blacklock then took the coastal cliff trail back north to Floras. The more inland route was accessible to beginners with a few roots but mostly slight grades, 3 feet wide and solid dirt in August. This leg travels under the low-growth coastal trees, mostly shaded with streamers of sunlight landing on moss-covered creekbeds. The leg along the coastal cliffs was more challenging with steeper sections, tighter in general with bridges and generally more texture to play with. Also the growth was beginning to encroach in sections. Aug. 2014. The views from the cliffs are stunning.
