The Brig Trail

Trial Name:            Camp Jejune Brig Trail

Location:            Jacksonville, NC

Directions:     Take hwy. 24 to Camp Lejune; go through the main gate ( a visitors pass may be required). You will be on Halcomb Bridge Rd. Follow this for approx 5 miles. Make a left hand turn on Sneads Ferry Rd. (this is the road you would take to the beach).  Go down Sneads Ferry road through one light, make a right at the second light, which is Lynman road. The trailhead is accessed via the tank road to the left (100 yards from the stoplight). Park on the grass next to the tank road entrance. The MTB trail starts about 100 yards down the tank road on the left. You can't miss the entrance, police tape marks the start.

Review:          Home of Mud, Sweat, and Gears, as well as several other races all year round. The trail is well marked, and new trails are constantly being added. Lots of ups and downs, hill climbs, and fast sprint sections. Several easy to very technical log crossings, guaranteed to throw you off at least once. For the coastal area you can’t beat this trail for its speed, its hills, and log crossings. The trail currently measures just over 7 miles and is constantly growing. Special thanks to the Down East Cyclist bike club for continued trail maintenance.

 Rider Quote: “Lots of roots, fallen trees and inclines. Constant new trail additions keep me coming                             back for more. ”
