This trail is a loop one side of the loop is less technical and has more flow, the other side is very technical with several rocky and rooty areas. This park is full of technical trails that challenge your ability but are a lot of fun. Trails are under used but maintained, this is a hidden jewel and a great place to ride.
| ThankA lot of nice trails in the park which are maintained quite well. Rock gardens are plentiful especially on the sections bordering country club dr.
| ThankWhat part of this trail is for the beginner?It is not very well marked.I get to ride some of the old creek beds and that is not easy.The rest of the trails are pretty good and flowing but are short.The state park is nice and the trail lead right from the camp sights.Wort riding if You are in the area.
| ThankSweet short trail that gives beginners a feel for what other trails at the park have to offer. Not for novices, but fine for those that feel solid on their bikes. Trail does have lots of rocks and roots and might be considered moderately technical - but I rode it as a beginner.
| ThankFlat loop set on a constant rock bed with frequent sections of roots. I pushed my bike some because it exceeded my skill level.* Review edited 9/23/2009
