It is not too technical and there are no long climbs or downhills. Having said that, this trail is FUN for riders at all levels. It's a great place to practice your spinning and it has enough off-camber turns and rocky sections to keep it interesting. Just when you think you can really fly down the twisty singletrack through the trees, a sudden turn pops out of nowhere. A very pretty ride with changing scenery throughout.
New riders can definitely practice their skiills here without getting stuck too far from their cars.
If some of your group wants to stop after one lap, send 'em down to the lake at the bottom of the road and then go meet them after you finish your ride. Pack a lunch and cool off in the lake. Watch out for the power boats dragging drunken tubers in ever-widening circles. Only drawback is getting there. Definitely worth a look if you have the time.
