Description: Great Brook is very popular since it is such a great family and beginner area. Because it is such a popular family area, it's not a great idea for advanced riders to come to Great Brook to do their serious weekend pounding. It's wise for fast riders to avoid this park on nice summer weekends. It certainly is a good idea to avoid riding hard on the main trails. The main trails are frequented by family groups of four of five people, both hikers and bikers, including young kids, often on little bikes. Some of the more out-of-the-way single-tracks offer more challenge without this risk over running over slower bikers.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by eastwood on September 18, 2011
Rode here at the NEMBA adventure series. They had two marked loops, beginner and intermediate. Nice mix of terrain. Plenty of fire roads and smooth singletrack through fields for the beginners (still enough roots, rocks, and short up and downs to keep it challenging for a beginner). Intermediate loop had some nice technical climbs with plenty of rock outcroppings to navigate. To extend the ride you can link it with Russell Mill. Plenty of singletrack not included in the NEMBA loop so not a bad place to get out and ride. Just keep your head up for walkers, families, and horses. All equestrians we came across were great; friendly and their horses weren't spooked so they'd call for us to just keep riding - can't beat that!!
