Mostly paved trails and pathways. Some dirt/gravel paths. Some public roads between Grand Prairie and Centre Port. Recommend for gravel capable/curb hopping capable/adventurous go around capable bicycles. Road bikes on 23's would not be appropriate.
Please note that his is only a recommendation not an endorsed route. Trail and road conditions can change at any time and there is no way for us to be up date on any changes that might occur. This route worked the last time we rode it but the world does move on. Ride at your own risk.
