This is an intermediate trail that I I figure is slightly harder than the Sac River Trail. This is a horse trail but bikes are more than welcome. You will have plenty of creek crossings and tons of Lake views. I typically take the trail 2 miles out and stay left about 200ft PASSED the bike trail(the "bike trail" isnt used and is in the prossess of being taken down)sign which will give you a 5 mile loop but there is plenty of diferent trails to take advantage of further on. In this area you can fiss off the Lake Doc and put in at the ramp for a day on lake Pomme de Terre. Have fun

From HWY13 and 32HWY at Bolivar go 5 miles East on HWY32, then left on D HWY for 7 miles, stay straight on PP for 1 mile, stay straight on RB for 5 miles then split left at the sign fo the fishing dock for 1/4 mile and you will see a restroom, map and parking area.
This is a typical, heavily used horse trail. The tread is trenched by hooves 4-6 inches in places. There are many loose rocks rolling around in troughs where the soil has been pounded out. And the trail takes occasional fall line plunges into and out of drainages. Despite these recognizable traits, this trail is actually more rideable than most because it is being maintained by the Backcountry Horsemen group. They are more active in trail maintenance than most equestrian groups but apply some misguided techniques to problem areas like enclosing seeps with logs and filling the center with gravel. I don't understand the color scheme for marking the trails either. Scenic views of Lake Pomme de Terre along a few sections help make up for some of these shortcomings.
