The ride is rated easy to difficult with the trails traversing 750 acres of forest, pastures and two lakes. You will be the first to enjoy this scenic beauty before elephants arrive. For the more adventurous rider, there are offshoots of the main moderate trails that dead-end at the bottom of hills thus providing uphill challenges.

You are also invited to bring a lunch to enjoy at Elephant Lake. The admission fee of $25 benefits the non-profit organization Elephant Aid International, developers of ERNA. Memorial t-shirts are available; order on line. Sign up early, space is limited!

To ensure a safe day for everyone, helmets are required for all bike riders, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. This is a tobacco-free and alcohol-free event. Participation will be limited to 50 people, so you are encouraged to register, before the event, online at ElephantAidInternational.org.

Please note, there are no elephants on the property at this time.
