TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

I've ridden this trail quite a few times but I made a new discovery today. There are 2 "hiking trails" across the road from the mtb trail that are well worth a look. There is a kiosk with maps. They are simply called loop a and loop b. Loop b is a real deal mountain bike trail whether it ever intended to be or not.(no posted no bicycle signs) Nice sweeping singletrack, intensly technical uphills and downhills. This trail had everything you expect from an Appalachian trail albeit much shorter. Still it is a good 35-45 minute ride. Best local ride I've had this year.

Early in the season and the trail was riddled with downed limbs and leaves. A lot of climbs and some long downhills. I didn't like how many great downhills ended in 180 degree switchbacks. Should be a lot better ride after some traffic clears the debris.

The directions say, "From I-40 take 52 north to highway 8 Turn left at light (north) maybe 5 miles there is a sign on right that says Horizon park, turn there go maybe 1 mile the park is on both sides of the road, but the trail is on left." These directions are slightly incorrect. When you exit 52 you turn left at the STOP SIGN. Now you are on highway 8. A short distance from the stop sign is a stop light which caused me some confusion. I loved this trial and road it several times while visiting Winston-Salem. Cudos to the local club that maintains it.

This is a nice single track trail. There are plenty of roots and short climbs, but nothing too technical. You will probably want to ride the loop twice to get in a good workout. It's not nearly as physically draining as Hobby Park. It's a little more like the trails at Bur-Mill Park in Greensboro.

Except for gravel beginning it is a great trail! I wish it was longer. It is very well maintained and marked. Worth riding it!

Tight and twisty. Nothing too technical. Good place for beginners, intermediates to practice turns, or run it a couple times for the cardio. That and a little disc golf across the street makes for a fun afternoon.
