Bashore Ridge Loop GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The Bashore Ridge Loop follows a nice trail through the woods as it makes its way down to an inlet on Beaver Lake called Blackburn Arm. Along the way I passed an old car remains and some pretty scenery. The lakeside views are nice and I hung out to enjoy the sun for a bit before starting back. The loop consists of two trails that parallel each other, and both are relatively flat walks. I returned on the trail I didn't come in on to experience the whole loop, but both trails are quite similar.

Hire me or show me some love!
