Lake Howard trail system consists of four loops and a connector when ridden out and back can total 15.5 miles.The trail is laid out directional but can be ridden any way you want.Maps are available at the trail head, in addition to an available changing house and bike wash.Rolling and flowing it requires a lot of pedalling and although not extremely technical, it is very fast. As we regulars say;"if its not
challenging enough, you're going too slow." the trail was named by BB Comer student Spencer Gallops. Lake Howard is a 180 acre lake with boats allowed (NO WAKE LAKE PLEASE), plenty of fish.
