  The first two mile loop, named "Cottonmouth Run", takes riders down narrow lanes through dense live oak motts with many sharp turns, over large oaks downed by Hurricane Claudette, and along the Coleto Creek Reservoir shoreline. The average rating for this trail is "More Difficult". As you shoot down the trail you never know what you might discover - from a whitetail deer to the trail's namesake.
  The second two mile loop, named "The Pit", takes you in and around a large pit created when material was harvested for construction of the Coleto Creek Dam.
  The last two mile loop, named "The Dam Loop", takes you beside the actual Coleto Creek Reservoir Dam. This section is the flattest but in the springtime is loaded with wildflowers.
