Description: The trail is a gradual uphill and downhill. It is mostly singletrack over dry, sandy hills and ridges. Since this is a new trail, it looks like it will be a blast after a little bit of moisture compacts the trail a bit. A word of caution: this is a multi-use trail. Please remember the IMBA Rules of the Trail.

Very fun trail for beginners to intermediates, or anyone looking for a relatively quick ride. Different trails allow you to mix it up. Fun flowing downhill with some moderate climbs thrown in. Try it...you'll like it.

This trail was pretty cool, a great place to take a friend that does not know how to do the technical stuff. In april it was a little more muddy but nothing we couldn't handle. I enjoyed this track a lot.

This is a fun mostly flat trail that can be done in 1-1.5 hours depending on pace/skill-level.
Options:
1. To skip the water-tower climbs, just stay on the fire road to go around it.
2. From the Beeks Bight parking lot, continue on to Doton's point to add another 1.5 mile to this out and back (moderately technical)

Good beginer tail, I took my wife and a few friends here and had a blast. Climbs were gradual and the downhills seemed to be fast and go on fo a while. Great trail to work on speed and get use to being off the pavemant.

TBF racing has several races throughout the year in this park. The trail has great drainage, plenty of DG, great climbs to gap out the race pack. Some semi-tech rocks/gardens...switchbacks upon switchbacks. An awesome ride, when done casually or training..you'll appreciate the views and terrain. In race mode..it's a full out challenge with limited reprieves. Umpteen trail permutations to play with.

Pretty good trail, the area further north is much more fun. While the trail might have been built for beginners, runoff has eroded the trail a bit. I would call it closer to intermediate in some spots. There's also a few granite boulders here and there to pop off of and 1 or 2 big ones that you can wallride.

The trails are very windy and smooth. Fun place to work on your cornering skills. This is where I brought the girlfriend to get her into mountain biking. She called this place "Hill-Biking"

Fairly boring trail, definately a good place to bring beginners.

I agree on the real hot and sandy parts stated above. Was very vanilla, easy riding.
