Great weekend riding spot if you live north in Erie or south in Pittsburgh or Washington. As for the population there, if you go on Weekends you can find no more than 10 other people there. If you have time to go during the Weekday nobody is there. You can ride the whole place in 1 day. As for the trails, alot of the "inner trails and "side Trails" are grown in/old quad ruts. The outer loop is about 9 miles long if you stay only on the main trails. The place has been reduced in size to help prevent land and lake erosion. If you go on the trails past the boundaries you can get fined. Going on the inside trails is easy to get lost if your new to the Area. Beutiful lookout spot to see the lake and boating. You gatta find it though :]
