Description
Trail that loops around the lake. You could add it to the trail that attaches to South Run Park and make it about an 8 mile easy ride. There are also some single track trails off into the woods. Not technical.

Review: LOTS of people here walking their dogs, trail running, and biking. Go on off hours, off days for fastest riding. Lots of access points around the lake. Flat, level and not technical at all.

Review: Nice little trail; however, you need to ride this trail early morning on the weekend since there are a lot of walkers and joggers after 8 or 8:30 in the morning.

Review: This isn't a mountain bike trail but it is good for going on a ride with the family or girlfriend, etc. I rode the loop on a Monday afternoon and the place was packed with people walking and jogging. I can't imagine how packed it would be on the weekend. No obstacles, climbs, or challenges in general to speak of. It'd be a good cruise if it wasn't for all the people. I gave it a 2 because there is nice lake scenery.

Review: The loop around the lake is 4.5 miles of wide-enough-to-drive-a-semi, flat-as-your-kitchen-table, less-obstacles-than-a-handicapped ramp bliss that you will share with thundering hordes of hikers, runners, dog-walkers, and mommies pushing strollers. I wouldn't even take a noob here for his very first off-road ride; he'd respond by becoming a roadie! There's absolutely nothing here that points to the joys of mountain biking, even for the timid.

Similar Trail: If you're new to the sport, head for Wakefield, if not, head for Fountainhead

Review: Basic trail. No technicalities. Good cruise. You can bring your cyclocross bike.
