Description
Located in Skyline Wilderness Park, the Lake Marie Double Loop ride is a tough ride technically, but not too strenuous. Most of the climbing is done on Lake Marie Road, which is a short, rough fireroad, and a little is done on the singletrack. The ascent to the lake (the only actual fireroad) is a little bumpy. Some of the singletrack is not terribly technical, but watch out for rocks in the trail as you go flying down. Other sections of singletrack are extremely difficult and should not be attempted by novices.
