Roll into a forgotten world. This stretch of trail takes you on the old Sonestown-Eagles Mere Narrow Gauge Railroad bed. From there, follow our signs to spy on a very active beaver pond.
The start of this loop is located near the Eagles Mere Outlet Pond. This route is only open to Grand Cru Gravel on the event weekend. This is private property.
