• Brand new trail at Cypress Bend Resort on Lake Toledo Bend.
• 5 possible loops ranging from 1-6 miles that can be ridden consecutively to create longer distances.
• Difficulty progresses with distance, traverses over the highest point in the region, descends lakeside and winds through various open and tight forest sections.
• Fast trail that requires strength and bike handling skills to conquer; features grueling climbs, steep downhills and several 100-180 degree turns on off-camber terrain while descending.
• Has three 12" wide raised wood sections over wet sections, plus nine pine log bridges.
• Entire trail is signed for direction and hazards.

Trailhead of the Cypress Bend Nature Trail Early on the trail seems beginner-friendly as it rolls through the pines A easy ascent along Loop 1 Beginning of a great big ring section, slight descent and flowing turns (photo courtesy of Cypress Bend Resort) Right before an exhilarating downhill (photo courtesy of Cypress Bend Resort) 2' deep & off-angle whoops on a slight downhill descent (photo courtesy of Cypress Bend Resort) Don't fall off these 1' high raised sections as the ground is naturally saturated year round and will swallow your front end (photo courtesy of Cypress Bend Resort)

The shorter loop turns are clearly marked Facing the Climb of Death Continuing up the Climb of Death Caution: Wildlife Crossing Ahead Off-camber, some rocks, and the last big climb...take a deep breath
