The Salisbury Community Park (SCPMTB) trail system is volunteer built and maintained and, as of 2024, primarily consists of 9+ miles of singletrack trails comprised of a multiple trail loops. The system has been designed for beginners through expert riders and riding options at the park include even more mileage ranging from a paved greenway around the lake, gravel roads, grassy cross country paths, doubletrack, singletrack and bike-specific flow and jump lines. The trails are maintained by the Pedal Factory Trail Care Crew and are multi-use. Class 1 e-bikes allowed; gas or e-motorcycles/Surrons are not allowed. Most riders start at the SCPMTB trail hub, located between the gravel parking lot and the lake, where Greenbriar, North Main and a segment of the Carolina Thread Trail all converge. The North Main and South Main loops serve as the backbone of the system with other trail loops accessible via them. The trails are marked for travel in a clockwise fashion, but they are multi-use and can be ridden in either direction with the exception of the jump and flow lines which are downhill only. Current trail maps are available on kiosks around the park and you can scan a qr code on the trail signs or go to:  https://salisburyncgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=497c08b425b24558b2120050f2679dbe For trail status updates, visit SCPMTB on Facebook at:    https://www.facebook.com/p/Salisbury-Community-ParkSCPMTB-100063801750131/ To donate to the Pedal Factory Trail Care Crew, go to:   https://www.thepedalfactory.org/products/donate-to-the-pedal-factory Trails are common ground, be mindful of other users, ride within your abilities and at your own risk, wear a helmet, don't litter, and enjoy the ride.

    Trail is now over 10 miles in length with opitonal loops. Jump line recently added, best jump line in this area. Leaves are often blown off of trail in winter. Could stand to be better marked, but overall an excellent intermediate-level trail.

    Nice trail! I'm a first timer so I've ridden it twice in two days. Personally no other trails to compare it to but, I really like this trail

    I am working in the area and found this trail on Singletracks. I was very pleasantly surprised and sincerely thank those responsible for doing such a great job of maintaining it. I know the continual effort it takes! I took a contractor friend to ride it and he was impressed as well. You just don't expect a "community park" to have such a great trail.

    Been riding this trail regularly for several years and it has gotten better with improvements. It's fun, fast and has some nice features.

    Nice trail. Went with the intention of just riding around on the trails and checking out someplace new and not having to do anything to difficult. Some of the climbs are a little bit steep but nothing that if you put your pedals into it can't be done! Overall a nice trail will definitely be back!

    Excellent trail. Main trial is great, optional trails are good. Smooth not too many roots. Few cool drops/downhills. Couple man made jumps. Tough climb at the end.

    A good flowing trail in most areas with some fast downhills and intermediate climbs. The trail is mostly free of roots rocks so it makes for a decent beginner trail.

    The trail off the gravel road is very difficult and not for the faint of heart. One section is called Humpdy Dumpdy - get ready to go fast and fall easily if your not careful.

    I like this trail. It's close to where I live and it's reasonably fun. For mountain bike extremists it might be a little boring but overall it's a good workout with some fun and challenging spots for a novice like myself. I don't think that it flows as well as some have said but in certain sections it does flow very well. It's mostly non-technical singletrack that cuts back and forth with very few obstacles (ie. roots, rocks). It definitely needs some berms in the corners to help you keep your speed up but other than I don't think it needs much else. Some bridges would be awesome. I would be more than willing to help build and add on to the trail if people are interested. Feel free to email me if you'd like to talk about it. My email is [email protected].

    In response to the review from January 27th, I believe the reviewer on January 24th literally meant that this was a new trail and needs more traffic to firm up the trail tread, NOT that the trail is too easy. Please take the time to read critically and carefully before responding negatively to another review.
