Description: Mixed bag of terrian. Fire roads, singletrack, doubletrack and some dirt roads. Extremely rocky with high technical score. Trails stretch out and can be ridden all the way to Buck Hill in Pascoag. Don't park at the Beach it will cost three bucks. Main trail parking lot. Check out the coffee house loop?

Great Trials. Took us a while to figure out where we were on the map, but once we found our way it was great. There are a wide variety of trials to pick. Double track, fire roads, single track, and very rock hiking paths. Very quiet and peaceful area. If you take the trails up to the Whitin Reservoir there is a really nice rope swing and the swimming is great. Some very steep windy single track thrown in if you look for it. Great place to ride, well maintained and easy to get to. We only rode about 10 miles of trails, but will definitely come back again a few times at least.

A real mix. some sweet ass singletrack,some brutal rocky trails, some fireroads. nothing to steep. been there a few times, always feel there's more to explore...that's a good thing. Midstate trail is a good reference point so you don't get to lost.

Had to drop another line regarding DSF. I love this place! I started at the trailhead on Rt 16 which is the Midstate Trail. Crossed the SNETTS and headed toward Wallum Lake via the Coffee House Loop and Cedar Swamp Trail. I like this so much, I headed back the same way. The Midstate Trail is really fun. 8.5 for technical. Lots of rock gardens, rock climbs and rock descents. The hikers look at you as if to ask you....'How do you ride a bike on this trail?' If you want a challenge, come here.

If it weren't for an endo I took, I would have ridden more miles than I did. But one word describes how I feel about DSF; OutFrigginStanding! Very technical singletracks, complete with downhills and climbs on rocks and boulders. Plenty of switchbacks, trees right up on you as you navigate through the rocks and the occasional riding over fallen logs. A lot of shifting on the fly, too. A great adrenaline rush to ride here.
