I was pretty surprised by this place. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting to find in central Georgia. There were a decent amount of flat section, as I had expected, but there were also lots of punchy climbs and a decent amount of rocks in certain sections. Trails are in pretty good shape as well. The elevation changes reminded me a bit of Ft Yargo but the trails didn't snake and twist the same.

My favorite so far! Starts easy so you get a good warm up. It has variety of up and down hill making it challenging aerobically but also fun! Well marked, easy to get to. I have not gone on the Huff N Puff yet but plan to.

Similar Trail: Fort Yargo

Great trail. It's my favorite at the moment. I just started and it's great to learn and build on. It has beginner, intermediate, and advanced trails. 17 miles worth of trails.

Similar Trail: I don't know of any at the moment except The Beach in Jonesboro, Ga.

Great beginners trail. More trail riding than mountain biking. Very fast with little or no climbing. The Huff n' Puff is fun. I rode the whole system in about 2 1/2 hours.

Wow! The first time I went to Dauset was when I was just getting started mountain biking and an old bike combined with all the roots made even the short loop be a pretty misreable experience. I rode there today and did the "advanced" loop. It was very well marked and a great ride. The advanced one ends up being about 16 miles but only a few spots are technical. It's mostly lots of up and down elevation changes. Highly recommended for a not-too-tough semi-epic ride.

Nearly enough trail to qualify as a mini epic. I strung the complete system together for nearly 12 miles of fun, challenging single track. Exceptionally well marked and maintained, many options for shorter rides. Not much in the way of obsticles, mostly because of the multi use aspect of this trail, yet still wonderfully entertaining trail, great for anyone in the area

This Trail system is Close to me so I ride there alot. It is a great place to get in shape and to take new riders. It also has just enough techincal stuff for the advanced riders to have plenty of fun on. I have ridden this trail pretty much from when it was built and keep going back...

Similar Trail: Some of it is like the easier parts of Blankets creek

Excellent trail system!!! Rode it for the first time 2 days ago and haven't stopped thinking about the place. Like previously mentioned, there's plenty of trails and some for every skill level. We put in about 18 miles and was told that there's alot more that we didn't ride. This was my first singlespeed ride as well. With small to moderate sized climbs, this place is perfect for SS. I'm very impressed by this place. It also has a zoo, a fishing pond, a petting zoo, campgrounds, cabins, foot-trails, horse trails. I plan on taking my family there for spring break.

This is the most fun you can have on a bike. The trails are fun and challanging but they keep you motivated to keep moving. There are different trails for every skill level. Definatly a trail any mountain bike should check out.

My favorite! I try others, but keep coming back. Last weekend I went to another trail and was so disappointed, I left and drove 150 miles to spend the afternoon at Dauset. Everyone I introduce to it feels the same.

A fun place to spend the day. So many trails and they all connect so you can piece together any kind of ride or length you want. Fast flowing singletrack; rooty and rocky climbs; riverside speeding.....The trail has everything. Loved it.

Nice little trail system. Nice Park. Take my daughter in her Chariot Cougar trailer on a lot of the non-technical trails... Plenty to do for the day with the whole family

This is my favorite trail in all of Georgia. It is super fast and fun to ride. It has a little something for everyone. My favorite route is starting on Moonshine to Fern Gully up to Turkey Trot then Pine Mountain (fast downhill with some potential air), then Sandy Creek to Huff n Puff then out to the parking area on Bootlegger. This is on private land provided out of the land owners generous heart. Please respect his rules. NO DOGS. This is a nature preserve.
