TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Fun trail if you're in the Macon area. Lot's of tight, twisting single track. No huge elevation changes but a little up and down to get you out of the seat. Definitely worth a visit. It's not marked superbly but you'll get your heart rate up without having to stop and scratch your head too much if it's your first time on the trail.

This is a very fun trail for a short ride. Not real technical but the trails are fun with good flow.

Love this trail. It has plenty of flat track, decent climbs over good roots, and some good downhill sections- not to mention a beautiful ride all together... On the back section they have plenty of good jumps to launch you into the air....

Great ride, especially for relative beginners. Lot's of different terrain and a fast trail.

Tight and twisty singletrack that leans towards the beginners end of the difficulty spectrum without being too boring for intermediate and advanced riders. Several log overs and short, rooty, washed out climbs add a technical aspect to the trail that is very welcome. At seven miles, it can certainly pose a challenge to a new rider. No real elevation gain but tight singletrack to keep you guessing what's around the next bend.

From a mtb beginner's point of view, this is a great trail and like everyone has said there's a little bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. Some climbs, zippy downhills, trees... everything. If you haven't tried this trail, by all means, please check it out and enjoy.

This is my primary trail. Good diversity however i will say its not the most challenging from a climbing aspect. Lots of weaving in and out of trees which can be a bit dicey if you are at speed. Most of the downhill sections are in rather tight areas. Roots seem to be in the worst possible places. It gives the option to ride a couple miles, a coupel more or all the way through (about 7 miles). Usually i opt to do the back half twice to round it out to an even 10. The trail is well maintained as this is a fairly popular area. Dont go on thursday afternoons in the fall due to X-Country running events. my average speed is around 9.5 (when im in shape of course....)

I came to visit from Savannah, Ga. Here a speed bump is a hill! I really liked this trail b/c of its flow and diversity and options for speed that could kill if slammed into a pine. It takes about an hour to finish... if you figure out the number system. It is numbered 1-30. My best advise is go with the flow. Options will be available for spider tracks, but use your instinct and the natural flow of the trail to stay on track... even though some arrows point back the way you came. Trail starts to the right of the pond. Have fun.

Really fun 7-mile ride. It's not too difficult, and can be ridden in < hour. Ride it from either direction for a varied terrain. I'd consider this my "home" trail, since it's only a few minutes drive from my house.
