This great ATV trail is a great ride for both ATVs, motorcycles and mountain bicycles. Since this is designated as a multi-use trail, be sure and keep a wary eye out for other traffic when you're riding these ATV trails.
This trail is only 5 miles and it loops around Davenport Mountain with some moderate grades, and offers views of Nottely Lake - definitely scenic. Some areas of this trail are recommended for riders accustomed to riding on flat to rolling terrain, young, or inexperienced ATVers where they can gain some valuable handling skills and increase their confidence in riding their ATVs.
If you want a more challenging ride, rest assured you will find it here as well. There are some great placs with some steep grades to crawl up on your ATV and some areas that are a little rougher terrain.
Trailblazing is not allowed on either the easy or harder ATV trails as it ruins the landscape and it takes a long time for nature to repair itself from these indiscretions by irresponsible ATVers.
The ATV trail begins at the back end of the parking lot and goes forward around the mountain. Be aware this ATV trail crosses a road at two places. Watch for other vehicles on the road at these crossings and be very aware of your surroundings.
Since these are managed by the National Forest Service, you need to be sure to have your spark arrestor and muffler in place prior to riding and always wear your DOT approved helmet and goggles to insure you have a safe and fantastic time at the Davenport ATV Trail.
