This was great!. I will say that for the HARDCORE single track guy to stay away from this trail just because is not for you, but for a person who is just starting to ride this is awesome. I took two of my newby friends to this trail and they enjoyed it. It is well maintained and maped out. I like every second of it and it was worth the drive will do this trail again.

Similar Trail: Robert E Lee Park.

Nice little wooded singletrack park to practice jumping some logs and riding through some small creeks. Its not to crowded. Its good for a quick ride by yourself after work. Park at the Ice house in the far left corner of the the rear parking lot and enter the trail there.

While I'm not new to biking, I am to mountain biking. Fairland was my second outting and I was most pleasantly suprised. Access is great and the trails are in very good condition. I was also suprised that it covers a wide range of abilities. Though mostly rooty, there are rocks, bridges, creek crossings, side-hills and fallen lumber. There are a couple of really challenging hills ta' boot! Several parts of the trail sections overlap allowing the rider to mix it up. A peaceful, challenging and scenic ride, I'm looking forward to next time!

Fun trail. There are some obstacles and a lot of single track. I Park at the Gardens Ice House to access the trail. Lots of turns and small climbs and descents. Great for after work, will leave your legs burning if you go hard.

This trail was surprisingly very fun. There are not really any extreme climbs or descents. However, you are almost always on a grade. The trail is essentially an out and back with a loop [holly loop] on the end. Holly loop has the best downhill sections. There are little creek crossings, very flowy singletrack corners, and overall fun trail features. I will be back soon. Trail maps and directions are on Montgomery County parks website. [along with other near by trails] Brought my trail rating up to a four after a few more rides. Found additional trail off of the Holly Loop. Also found small set of skinnys right in the middle of the park. This trail was fun to ride before, but last couple rides have been even better.

This is indeed a great after work trail / route. I have been riding it for years since I work close by. I prefer to park at the ice house and enter the trails there. The terrain is generally rolling and doesn't give too many opportunities to just sit back and rest. You are generally either doing at least a gradual climb or descent. There are a few logs down in various sections that can be either hopped or ridden around. This trail would be fine for someone with descent fitness and at least some moderate handling skills. Even once you've mastered the trail if you push the pace up a notch this one will still work you. It's hard to believe a great little trail like this exists where it is.

Similar Trail: Patapsco if you have more time., Rosaryville or Schaefer Farms
