What skill levels are required?
Does the loop comprise fire roads? Single track? Technical?
Thanks.

No idea
I have never been but take a look at:

I'm taking my 'cross bike if that makes a difference. I have been told the main loop is easy, but there are hard options.

Rob, if you do the triangle trail in Stillwell, a cross bike would be pushing it.

Nah..........
"Herb's thinking like a MTB'er - that is ride over, under, or through anything in your path. A 'crosser knows there's no shame in hopping off and running when the going gets technical. That's why ""true"" 'cross bikes never have granny rings.
That said, even though Stillwell's a bunny trail, what it does have is lots of deep sand. Fat tires float over the stuff, but narrower tires will dig and sink. At least it don't hurt much if you do down...."

Technical, singletrack, for the most part, some sections of doubletrack.
Bethpage is another option for the less experienced and also cross crowd
