Rider's Comments:
KINGKOSLOW: What a terrific path this is. Varied terrain, from a few very difficult climbs, to short stretches through swamp and prairie, but it is all easy on the eyes. Also, be on the lookout for the famed white deer. Transplanted from Africa years ago, they've meshed with the native mule deer. But pure white examples will still be seen by the savvy biker.  Lastly, I encourage you to avoid weekday hours from 4-6 p.m, if you don't  like crowds.
