Description:
Bartram runs from the West Dam
Recreational Area through Lake Springs, Petersburg, and
Wildwood Park and ends at Washington Rd. The section
from West Dam to Petersburg is a beginner trail, with the
easiest section between Petersburg and Lake Springs.
The section between Washington Rd. and Petersburg is more
intermediate level with a little more climbing, a few small
creek crossings, and some big high banked berms.
The Lake Springs Loop is a
horseshoe off the main Bartram inside of Lake Springs.
It offers a little more climbing and technical challenge
than the main Bartram it bypasses. It is approximately
2.5 miles long.
Overall, Bartram is a very fast
trail with lots of nice views of the lake. Beginners
will appreciate the lack of climbing and smooth tread, and
more experienced riders will enjoy putting it in the big
ring and flying through the woods at warp speed.
