Description: When you get to the park all you will see will be a baseball field, at the far end of the field is where the track begins. There is a map of the entire trail located in the parking area(left of ballfield). The track is all dirt, and there are a few roots on the trail and alot of crossings. Fun track for beginner or intermediate rider!

Rode tis trail last week. There is some nice stuff here, quite technical. The main trails were very slippery due to leaves etc which made it very interesting. I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked but I will be returning next time I'm in NC. I live in Florida so anything with a hill gets me excited.

This trail will work you out. A little bit of everything. Bring an extra lung. I ride here often as it's about a mile from my house. Lots of technical areas-rock gardens-switchbacks-numerous skinnies-Hucksville for some air time-the ravine will check your brakes. I would say this is not a trail for beginners, but it's where I've started. The trail is in pretty good shape but has lots of roots.

This trail is a great place to build technical skills for the area. Rock gardens, tight switchbacks, steep ups and downs, log piles, etc... will keep you concentrating the whole time. Nothing out there should be impossible for anyone with moderate XC skills. Also being allowed to night ride is a HUGE positive. There is a serious lack of night riding locations in this area so that alone is a great attribute. The thing I don't like about Legend Park is that it is a network of very short trails that loop around and meet a main trail. There really is no defined "route" for the trail, you just go out and ride all the short loops in any direction you like. I can ride everything out there and still feel like I haven't put any miles in due to the layout of the trails. Anyway if you like to freeride or are looking to build up your technical skills this is the spot. If you like longer XC rides along trails with a defined route then you may not like Legend Park as much as some other riders.

Legend is the perfect name because it is a legndary ride. I love this trail. I thought it was funny when I did all of the moderate to difficult trails and wipped out on the easy trail. Lary's Loop has some sweet bridges that go over down trees and banking turns 1-2 feet off the ground. The "Skills Zone" is amazing. "Huckville" as it is called has amazing a few awsome drops of 18 feet. The Little Big Horn has some awsome switchbacks that can be torturous at times. I find something new and thrilling everytime I ride. There are many different trails. It is so cool that the town of Clayton allows night riding and just asks riders to be off by 11PM.

Greatly maintained trail. Lots of fun to ride around, good for a quick afternoon ride. Some technical parts, including a rather large ravine downhill/uphill that poses some interesting challenges. Other than that, its pretty straight-forward!
Similar Trail: Still looking in the North Carolina area...new to the area.

Awesome variety and a super fun trail network. Alot of work went into this place and I was pretty impressed with what the trail builders were able to do with such a challenging location.
Similar Trail: Hmmm... Nothing comes to mind, though perhaps Chapel Hill HS trails are similar (but not as good).

Very nice ride, different than lots of other trails in the Triangle. The big ravine seperates the men and the boys.

this is not a easy trail at all. starts with at least intermediate and ends up with pro level- 15feet drops and hucks. if you are a sunday rider, i dont recommend this trail
Similar Trail: this is unique in 80mile Raleigh area

Haven't REALLY Mountain-Biked in years, so the "easy" trails seemed hard enough for me. Didn't dare the "Difficult." But a great trail, great design, something for all skill levels, even mine.
