There are some rolling hills along the dirt roads on the property, but there isn't anything so steep that you have to walk if you pace yourself.

This short section of gravel/dirt road is generally well packed and rideable on road tires. However, if you're unsure if you want to chance it you could continue to the south entrance and stay on paved roads the entire ride.
