Franklin State Forest offers a few miles of single-track trails that are fairly easy and flat. The trails are located in a wooded area and are mostly hardpack with a little loose dirt, rocks, and some mud after it rains. There are no steep hills, jumps, or water crossings. The trail system is mostly for beginners, with a small amount of intermediate-level terrain. The park is also open to hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. The motorized trail use season is from early May to late November. Camping is not permitted.Dirt Bike Trail System
