Old Jail Lane Conservation AreaMap

Overview:	The Old Jail Lane area is a collection of wide walking trails with small but frequent semi-hardpack rises on the network's perimeter. Its inner cross trails can be both wide or narrow singletrack, with pervasive thorn vines throughout.
Parking & Directions:	Parking is located directly off Old Jail Lane. Take Phinneys Lane from the 132 intersection and travel approximately 1 mile. Just beyond the Route 6 overpass, Old Jail Lane angles off sharply to your left. The lot is a 1/2 mile down on the left. Be sure to watch closely for the sign, as you can easily drive past it inadvertently.
Area Details:	This parcel has a heavy mixture of pitch pine, scrub oak and white pine vegetation, along with thick briars and American holly bushes. Most routes are wide, with subtle rises and depressions occurring regularly. There are copious waterbar steps built into these small climbs/descents, making Old Jail Lane a good spot to practice bunny hopping and tabletops (if you're so inclined). There is one relatively hilly trail through the middle with two steeper ascents to conquer, as well as several smaller ones. All routes are well-marked with numerous map kiosks. Be sure to watch carefully for dog walkers and casual hikers in this area, as it is surrounded by residential homes.
