Trail system has a little something for everyone except serious downhillers. Fast and flowing, tight and twisty, technical sections, skills area with a teeter-toter (not beginner friendly), 2 miles of grassy trails for grandma, and a lot of fun XC riding with more trails being built. Too bad they didn't have trails like this when I was growing up in the area, I might have had much less interaction with the local authorities.

Awesome trails. Great variety. Well built and well maintained by a trail manager. I go during the week and seldom see another rider. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere but you can be at Taco Bell 5 minutes after your ride. What more could you ask for? http://bedfordtrails.wordpress.com/about/ for map, trail updates, even some videos.

Similar Trail: Montvale Park (same trail manager), Peaks View (similar but not nearly as well maintained)

Lovingly crafted by a mountain biker trail manager, for mountain bikers. Makes the most of the acreage they have. Variety, a few tight turns and some fast sections. Unfortunately, people abused the pump track and the teeter-totter skills area, and now it's gone. Definitely recommend going out to the White Rock Hill, Slick Rock trails area. A nice touch are the little warning signs marking ground hog burrows. A really nice park for family picnics too. Take it slow around the parking area, where other trail users may abound. Light it up on the outer trails. This system hosts multiple events too, so it contributes to the mountain bike culture in Central VA. Fat Albert is fun too, with its log crossings. Would like more skinnies to add to the fun. Close to Lynchburg and Roanoke, for something different.

Great trail with clearly marked trails. Great workout and was impressed with the flow.

Nice size trail network with tons of potential. More information is available through Bedford County Parks website. This trail is almost exclusively singletrack with the exception of the occasional field crossing. You will experience a good amount of continuous elevation changes. This trail is switch back central and has only a few, well-placed roots and rocks. Some trail sections are new and not well worn in (Fat Albert comes to mind) and other sections are perfectly worn. You will go from a creek side trail to switch backs up and down a valley to field crossing. Highlights include a small "slick rock" section on slick rock, some fun fast berms on Sleepy Hollow, one teeter, and good general single track feel. The skills area (skinnys, pump track, etc.) was not impressive, and the network is more trail riding than freeriding. Takes about two hours to experience the entire park. I really wish that I lived close to this trail because it is a nice change from northern va.
