Neptune's Net

We don't rate places, roads or trails as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a ride is, and places riders like draw more riders, so they see more crashes. What the records show: 15 motorcycle crashes were reported within a mile of Neptune's Net from 2021–2025, 7 of them serious or fatal.
