Description: Technical & tight. The trails wind around the hills of Lake Tobosofkee. Continuously going up and down, this trail is sure to exercise the lungs, especially if multiple laps are run. Whoop-de-doos and slalom-like twists and turns will give your arms a full workout. There is a total of 640 feet of climbing. Entry is free into the Arrowhead Park for mountain bikers. Signs are currently up on the trail, but they are made of paper and will likely degrade. My best advice is to stay on the worn part of the trail, since there are forks and alternative routes. Construction of the trail is excellent, mainly due to the recent work done to the trail during a recent race (August 28, 2005). The trail allows for great "flow".

Trail is closed b/c tornados ripped it up. In fact the entire park is closed for the time being.

The other review is accurate with the exception of the Park admission policy. Admission is free for current SORBA members. All other riders will be asked to pay $3 per vehicle at the gate.
Similar Trail: Heritage in Athens is a longer analogue.

As others have stated this place has some serious climbing, especially given its location in central Georgia. Most of the climbs are manageable but a few sneak up on you around sharp turns. According to the park map there are more trails than what I was able to ride but it didn't look like there was an easy way to link up to the main trail. Overall the main loop came up just short of 5 miles on my GPS.
Similar Trail: Trails at the Beach (Jonesboro).

Great trail for the advanced beginner or intermediate rider. Good climbs and decents. THe faster you can ride, the better this trail gets. Regular upkeep makes this one of the better trails in the central Georgia area. Definatly worth the $5 to get into the lake property.

i enjoyed the ride. wasn't real technical, but lots of root systems and climbs to help you enjoy your ride. had a real nice part that came right up along side the water. very nice.
