Trail Description: Camp Mohaven race course is a 5.2 mile loop (so far) with new trail additions that include Rocks the size of small houses and amazing views of the Mohican River in the gorge below. Trails include a long gravel road climb up to the rock quarry followed by doubletrack and singletrack descents with plenty of room to pass. The purpose built singletrack improves two descents and adds a loop out to a peninsula with many ridable rock features, unique with some the size of small houses.  The climbs are mostly gradual with a few short steeps thrown in to keep you honest about your strength. This course is the beginning of a plans to expand the trail system in the coming years.
