Review: The trail has been destroyed by Bragg construction, it's a shame it was a great trail.

Review: They are tearing down the trail... Its becoming part of bragg... Sad day!

Review: They are still cutting down trees and messing up the trails...you can still get a good ride in, just do a couple loops

Similar Trail: n/a...This was my first ride.

Review: I rode this trail for the first time yesterday (March 23, 2012) after a long day at work and found it to be pretty nice for a local track. It's kind of more compact than I'm used to, but it's definitely well maintained. If you like medium difficulty single track then this place is for you. I rode it on a single-speed 26" bike and this trail was almost perfect for it. Also, I haven't ridden trails in more than a decade, so this was a perfect way to ease back into technical mountain bike riding.

Similar Trail: If you like way more difficult single track then I would recommend Governor's Creek in Sanford, N.C.

Review: Having gotten into biking as an exercise for weight loss a couple of years ago, I'm fairly new to trail riding. I started riding this trail and Smith Lake trail about a year ago. I don't have a huge basis for comparison, and I'm not very technically skilled, but I have enjoyed riding this trail more and more as I've build up my endurance and ability. The sand is a pain, but it seems everything around here is sandy. I was just getting really comfortable with it when the tornado destroyed both this and Smith Lake, which put a damper on my rides. I checked it out in October or November for the first time since the storm and saw how damaged it still was despite the evident work that had already been done. I came back out today to ride for the first time since then and aside from it being painfully evident that I was out of shape, the trail has really gotten better. A lot has been cleared, the majority has been cut back, and a handful of jumps and technical sections have been added (there are a couple of videos of these additions posted). Some I was comfortable with on the first ride through, and some I'm not touching yet, at least without company. Thanks, though, to everyone who's had any part in cleaning up the trail and making new additions. Very much appreciated.

Similar Trail: Smith Lake

Review: Road about a year ago. Had fun, but found myself lost for a bit finding the trail. If you are going out there let me know, as I would love to tag along. Thanks.* Review edited 3/2/2012

Review: Rode it again today, and it keeps getting bigger out there. Hit this up some time. It's a great ride. These guys are making some great stuff.

Review: Rode the trail yesterday, first time in 2012! Glad someone put up some signs. Im still going to throw some extra engineer tape on a few of the trees. Only problem now is more people need to ride it. This trail has tons of potential. Going to do at least one ride a week at this trail.

Review: We have been building up the freeride section for a couple months and its turning out awesome. Thanks to the guys the made the cut a rounds so all riders can still enjoy the trail. This trail is great for all types of riders now.

Review: The trail has received some upgrades from local riders which has really increased the intensity of some areas. There are multiple trails and people of all skill levels can find something to ride, however; must trails require some skill to ride fast. There are multiple fire breaks out there that can be used as well.

Review: Main Trail was a good ride and there is much work being done out there. From there, you can hit multiple other trails. I hit almost 9 miles before going back to hit some again. There is something for everyone out there. If the main trail isn't what you're looking for, branch out. you'll find it. The Rating can go from Easiest to Difficult.

Review: The trails are not labled and hard to follow in some ares of it but when you get the hang of it you'll know which lane is a little challenging. Riding fast on this trail is the good way, I will be here every week :)

Review: This trail was a real pleasure. It is difficult to stick to the outline of the trail but you could spend hours hitting different trails here. The bridges and jumps are a lot of fun! Great Place and will be returning.

Similar Trail: training area East, Fort Lewis, WA

Review: Fun, lots of shade, and in town. As others have stated, trail needs better marking or you'll spend most of the time looking for the next section.

Similar Trail: Smith Lake

Review: Trail head is difficult to find as the school put up chain link fencing around the building. Spent the majority of the ride looking for the next section as the trail is intersected by multiple access roads. Trail was in decent shape and spent time doing maintenance on a couple of bridges. What we did ride had some fast sections and some technical obstacles.

Similar Trail: Smith lake black and blue trails.

Review: This is a very fun and challenging trail. Less than half of the trail (that I could find) was quite technical with sharp ascents/descents, bridge and creek crossings, logs, etc.. Spent a good portion of the time just trying to find the next section. Found arrows and ties but they are so small that unless you are really looking you will miss them.

Review: This is an amazingly fun ride and a great workout. Tragically, if you don't have someone that has ridden it before, it is very unlikely that you will actually be able to find the entire trail. I highly recommend that whoever is upkeeping this trail, re-mark the exact path.

Similar Trail: Any hard-tail/front suspension bike will work. Full suspension will make it easier on your body and the trail. You will definitely want clip-in pedals and a helmet. You can probably survive this ride without these, but you'll need to keep it slower.

Review: Only been out there 2 times so far. It does get hard to follow at times but you can make up your out track very easily, just make sure you are going the right way or it will seem like an uphill ride the whole time. Just needs some people to maintain it and it could be one of the best kept secrets in Fayetteville. Definately will be going back multiple times a week* Review edited 10/25/2008

Review: Great technical trail, good climbs. need to go with someone who has been riding trail for first time

Review: This trail was great for an old guy just getting in to the sport. The trail was generally easy to follow, the GPS file was right on. The majority of the bridges have been repaired and overall the trail looked great. I followed other tracks when I get a little twisted around and had a blast. I will ride this one more in the future to help hone some skills.

Similar Trail: Just getting to know what is available in the area

Review: Trail needs lots of maintenance. A lot of the bridges rotted and have fallen down. The start of the trail by the school is difficult find. Lots of dirt roads going all over the place. Once you find the trail it's not to hard to follow.

Review: i rode this trail last weekend, for the first time in a couple months, and there was a "No Trespassing" sign posted at the Bill Heffner ES trailhead. The trail seemed to be abandoned and was overgrown with vegetation in many areas, and extremely hard to follow to say the least. i will say that there were a few sections that were rideable and fun, but overall it was a waste of time. i really don't plan on going back.

Review: This is a decent trail. No big climbs, but there are some logs and creek crossings. It can be a little hard to follow sometimes though. Take it at speed and enjoy!

Review: Trail has tons of potential, it lack years of maintenance. A lot of the bridges mentioned in the original posting are rotted, and have fallen down (or have been torn down). I will try to repair small sections of the trail each time I go out if others do the same it could be back in great shape in no time. The start of the trail and around the school has been recently destroyed buy 4-wheel ATVs, making it a little bit more difficult for new riders to find their way. The trail itís self offers a little bit of everything, take it fast, or at dusk for added thrill.

Review: Good trail for honing a few technical skills. Take it fast and it gets better. Has a lot of trail options, so you can mix it up. Pretty interesting trail and way better than Smith Lake if you want to stay local and take it up a notch.

Review: This trail is great, If you don't get a rush out of it you either got on the wrong trail or you ride to slow. This trail has lots of great single track. This trail is not marked well but you should not get lost since all the trails eventually lead back. Definetly the best ride in or around Fayetteville.
