TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by Tim_Fausch on January 30, 2010
Bloomer is just 3 miles from my house and I ride through it to get to the rail trails all the time. There are some very easy grandma trails near the parking lot that are great for kids/beginners. But once you get near the cliffs watch out. Lots of options. The trails are poorly marked, so if the course is getting a manager that would really help. Also, dense woods so it tends to stay muddy for days after a big rain.

very fun, no real ryme or reason to witch way to go, or ware trail heads are, theres another part of theese trails in the north east side thru the brown building, down the stairs (like 200) then to your left on the trails, you will find any down hill riders dream playground, with 5ft to 30ft jumps down hill tree crosing crazy long downhill jumps, i had lots of fun on the trails over all but dont think ill drive the hr drive to go back

This isnt a trail per say but more less a mtb playground. Super fun and varying difficulties, the off camber trails on the big hill by the river are amazing and can get scary fast. For all you XC junkies out there theres a loop that is perfect for training, uphill, downhill, uphill... you get the picture but its really tight and roots galore great for training. If you looking for fun and challenges ride here

This trail can be a lot of fun once you know it. This trail also just got a new TC and he will be doing a lot of improvements to this trail over the winter and early spring. This trail has a lot cliff side trails that are off camber and a real challenge. For a small Park this place has a lot of trails and lot of tough climbs. I am rateing it a 4 for right now just because the trail could use the TLC.
