Parking area at trailhead on Pleasant Hill Road in Chester; informational kiosk on site. This trailhead is the start of a straight, flat, 5-mile trail that parallels the Black River and connects Pleasant Hill Road with Randolph’s Horseshoe Lake Recreational Area. Trail is best for mountain bikes rather than road bikes due to many ruts, rocks, and roots along the trail. A scout project involved installation of mileposts every 0.25 miles, though some have fallen. Lots of activity during hunting season; be aware of hunting dates and wear orange for safety.
