Description: Has a lot of different terrain, some singletrack, some gravel roads, pond loops, and apparently stuff similar to Lynn Woods (I was unaware of this when I was there) - big rocks to play on. Great scenery in the park as well

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Lived near by for years, and there is definitely something for everyone here. Other guys have reviewed the rocky stuff, so here's what I would suggest for some good intermediate single track: Warm up by cruising by the ponds, and then head into the Granite Hills upper loop at the Mountain St. entrance. Stay right and get up onto the Ridge trail. There is some fun/tough side-trail action up on top of the hill here between the Ridge and Friends trails if you want. Pick up some speed on the Quarry loop and check out the quarry. The Morse loop is scenic, and quiet and the access trails in and out to the streets are great. Some other good intermediate trails in here are Bob's, Northwest, and West Side. Enjoy!

This place starts off great and then turns into a rocky nightmare. Unless you love pure rock bed stay away from certain trails. If you do end up riding these rocky trails be very care full!. You may catch yourself picking up your bike at some points. After all the uphill rock climbing there is downhill rocky terrain that's fast. Eventually the end will lead to an open meadow of flat grassy trails and the opposite side of the park across the lake were there's board walks. Overall an ok park, but there is better plus it costs to park here!

Took my first trip here the other day and it was incredible. French Trail, NEMBA Trail and Ridge Trail had alot of rocks,drops, twists and turns to ride. Definitely worth riding.

Great mix of trails - from open easy doubles to very rocky and technical singletracks. Something for all levels.

I rode this trail on a SS hardtail... pretty good double track stuff, LOTS of rocks, pretty technical... ALOT of fun for my first ride in Mass. I am from Jersey.

I take back my previous review. Badass, wicked technical riding. Ride French trail, NEMBA trail, and the Granite Loops. Basically a definition of rock gardens, I felt like a pinball the whole time

I've ridden there twice, both time didn't do much exploring - mainly went because I was pressed for time and just wanted to get out in the woods for a little while. Didn't think much of it, but was talking to some people and they say there's some pretty fantastic riding there, similar to Lynn Woods with huge rocks and drops and what-not, so I need to go back with a vengeance and explore and find all this stuff, then it might warrant a better rating in my book
