Description: Network of trails. I ride a 7 mile loop. Great training ride. Windy, twisty, a lot of turns. Not too tech. Big chain ring or fixed gear compatable. Love to show you my loop. E-mail me and I really will!

Motorcycle trail after motorcycle trail. Lot's of berms, rutty in some places but rideable. In some spots super fast and fun, others kinda slow going... mostly due to trail cover more than anything else. All big trees (blow downs) are cleared out, but as the motocross crew probably don't care, there are plenty of derailleur thefts out there. Trails wind in around themselves up and down the hillside. Fun place with a full suspension, can really get slamming down the rocky rooty trails hitting berms keeping speed up... a hardtail might make you pay... Decent enough ride, but no parking available at water tower as indicated on DCR map (it's gated off)... parked at YMCA - legit?

Trailhead atop Forge Hill Rd (I parked @ YMCA lot). Fun ride for what I rode. Majority were winding dirtbike worn singletracks with many burms, ruts and holes filled with mud. You had your share of blow downs and rocks/roots, too. Slight inclines, only. One trail leads to another w/o any signs/markers. A 6 out of 10 for technical. 8 out of 10 for speed.
