Karen, we did part of the Bad Branch trail, the *beginner* trail. I don't know who decided it was beginner but I'm told the guy who designed the trails is from off. I'm used to packed dirt and some rocks and the entire trail was narrow and rocky. It's very scenic, gentle grades, but definitely narrow singletrack. When I started at the trailhead, I noticed to my left there was a steep drop off as I was shouldering my way through trees. Be sure and tuck a map in your pocket and go with someone because there's no cell service and at one point the trail comes out on the fire road and it's easy to get turned around. We rode several miles before we even saw a forest service worker. There are over 50 miles of trail.

The yellow trail is more scenic and rated intermediate.

There's a bathroom located at each trail head and the fee is $3 per vehicle. To get a map, stop by the Blanchard Caverns or the main office at Syllamo. Here's the info about Syllamo trails.
