Description: About 9 miles of moslty doubletrack with some short sections of old forest roads thrown in for good measure. According to Douglas County Parks and Recreation, there are currently 3 marked loops and several extra unmarked "side trails". The Blue loop is about 1.1 miles and easy. The yellow loop is 2.4 and a little harder but still relatively flat. The red loop is where the real fun is at 5.1 miles with some very punchy climbs that will certainly get your heart rate up. All trail loops are pretty well marked and even if you do shoot off on one of the "side trails" it will quickly bring you back to one of the three main loops. Pretty easy to navigate and reasonably well marked.

This is a horse trail first so watch out for the poop. Mostly double track with some good up and down hills. This is the closest trail to me and I like to use it for quick workouts. The red trail has the hills, while the blue and yellow are primarily flat.

I use this trail, since it's the closest southside trail... Unless you are completely out of shape, or want some cross training, park near the lake and head straight to the red trail, which I would rank more towards the intermediate side only because of the climbs, which number around 5 or 6.(primary and secondary trails with a variety of trail surfaces. (Rock, gravel, sand, dirt, roots, ruts) and a couple of very fast downhills. Since it's doubletrack you can really fly. It maybe doubletrack, but you'd be hard pressed to find better climbing in the metro area. HORSES... You are in horse country and these trails WERE built for horses and they are allowing mtb, so please work with each other. Many of the horses there are not used to bikes, so my advice is to give way to them. If you go early on the weekends or anytime during the week, you won't run into them, so keep that in mind. Also the sooner you get to the red trail, the less likely you will see anyone or anything period... well except for deer and rabbits. For that reason, I would go to this trail over Sope Creek, any day.

Not as enjoyable as MacIntosh to me. There are some good hills for climbing, but almost no techinical stuff

These trails are fairly new and built by the county and it seems without much input from the biker community. I'd like to spend some time in there cutting some more technical trails. What's there is fun and can be good workout on the red trail. Some trails run parallel to the river giving a nice view for a bit. Lot's of free parking and tails maps posted at several of the trail intersections. Mostly all double-track but a good amount of trails.
Similar Trail: Clinton Nature preserve isn't far. You could double up and do both of these areas on a Saturday.

9-10 miles of legal doubletrack within 30 minutes of Atlanta. If you live ITP in Atlanta, I know I just got your attention. About 40% of the trails out here are beginner level but the red trail is easily be rated intermediate and could even be advanced if you really pounded out the climbs. Good, quick elevation change in the red loop. Trails see little use by bikes but there are apparently a couple of equestrian riders who frequent the area judging by the horse manure in spots. Luckily they haven't destroyed the trails. If you are nearby, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
