There is at least one porta potty on the trail but the U street trail head sits very close to town with ample fast food places so you can easily make a pitstop before hitting the trail. I didn't see any fresh water sources until the small market at the end so carry water as needed. We rode our mountain bikes and they handled the gravel easily. a bit father than 10 miles and then back to U street. One at the trailhead and one more about 4.5 miles outīiked from U street to Dams Rd. The three star rating is due to no water on the trail so bring plenty and a less than perfect parking situation. We enjoyed the trail and will ride it again. Its not fancy but the fried chicken was excellent and the wait staff was great. Very popular with the local Bedford residents. We decided to stop at a local restaurant called "Pappas". When we got back to the car my sons front tire was nearly flat. we used our mountain bikes with larger tires and due to storm debris, I'm glad we did. I would recommend no smaller than 35mm width tires. Great guy, retired, and offered his air compressor to fill the new tube. we ended up fixing his tire right next to a guys house (the trail crossed over his front driveway). No such luck, with about 7 miles to go he went totally flat. My son developed a slow leak in his rear tire at about the turn around point (10.2 miles out) so I topped off his tire pressure hoping it would hold out for the return. The trail was covered with forest debris and 6 downed trees due to the storm that just passed through. Although the trail has its ups and downs the overall flow is downhill from the "U" street starting point making the return trip a bit more aerobic. Its a gravel area and I don't feel the business minds a few cars parked at the far end of their property. starting from the "U" street access there was parking but I think the parking area belongs to the business close by. We almost gave up and headed home but the rain finally stopped and away we went. Just rode this trail yesterday, but got stuck in the local coffee shop for 1.5 hours waiting for a strong storm cell to pass through.
