Description

Pony is a multi use trail and can be travelled in either direction. Hikers and runners may meet cyclists while using the trail.

It begins at the south end of the Comeback Loop. it crosses the Crushed Limestone Trail shortly thereafter. The start of Deroin is just after the crossing branching to the right and is a bike only downhill trail. Go left to continue on Pony. The trail descends gently and approaches another crossing of the Crushed Limestone Trail. There, it intersects with the north end of Goat and the end of Deroin. One can continue south on Goat from here but do not enter the end of the bike only and one way Deroin. Goat was built more with pedestrians in mind (though still open to cycling) and hikers and runners may encounter less cycling traffic there than the remaining length of Pony.

Cross the Crushed Limestone Trail to continue on Pony. It goes downhill and has some rollers before it starts climbing uphill. Watch for cyclists traveling in the opposite direction as there is a feature at the top of the climb for those traveling south to north. At the top is a cycling feature on the right with an associated bypass. For safety, keep to the left and continue the climb to the top of this hill. Once at the top, the trail continues south.

The trail starts descending again and there will be a small amount of rock in the trail surface. As the trail begins to climb once more as it approaches the Crushed Limestone Trail. There is a bit more rock in this area. Pony ends here and one can continue downhill or loop back to the north via Goat
