About this trail
In Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia, Two Lick Bottom Trail # 457 (USFS trail 457) covers 1.6 mi of National Forest System trail. The figures here are pulled from the official US Forest Service trail data for Monongahela National Forest, covering the trail's mileage, tread, grade band, and the bike and e-bike uses the agency lists as designated. The tread is mapped as native material. Based on slope, this is a Intermediate trail (grade band 10-12%); that reflects moderate gradient and is not the same as a technical MTB difficulty rating. Mountain bikes are allowed, open year-round in the data. No e-bike class (1, 2 or 3) is designated on this trail in the USFS data, so treat it as a non-motorized route unless a posted order says otherwise. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 3 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed. Treat this as a planning reference rather than a live conditions report, and verify any time-sensitive closure or order with the ranger district that manages Monongahela National Forest.
