Biking on the Starkey Trail

Lake Blanche Dr. to Starkey Wilderness Park

Starkey Trail runs northbound from Lake Blanche Drive (where it meets the Starkey Gap Trail) along the eastern side of Starkey Blvd. The trail largely borders Starkey Wilderness Park, so not much development and a rustic feel. A few road crossings, some with crossing signals, but an easy ride.
