Description: Once parked at the public beach take the street road right then its the 1st gravel/dirt trail on the left. Once on this trail (its like a hybrid allows bikes and walking) not even a quarter mile down you will see a little sign on the right of the gravel trail that is the trailhead.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by jacobie on November 20, 2009
The Potato Creek mountain bike trail is very well designed and fun. Though it is listed as a beginner trail, there are a couple of areas the beginner may struggle with on their first pass. The trail incorporates a good mix of flat areas, a few rock piles, some narrow tracks along hills, slight inclined areas and fun downhill sections that are groomed. It is not a technical course, nor is it a downhill riders dream or a climbers training ground. It is a great trail to ride as a beginner since it includes small elements of all things mountain bike trails should have. The advanced rider may find it somewhat lacking in hard-core adventure but it is doubtful they would find it boring, especially on a group ride where rider skills vary greatly. The trail’s distance is puzzling- it can be found to be anywhere from 6 to 7 miles in length. A GPS tracking of the course produced the following data: 5.876 miles; min. altitude- 564ft.; max. altitude- 865ft. Overall, if you are looking at getting into mountain biking, you would be hard pressed to find a more suitable trail in the area to find out if this sport is for you. Make a couple of passes, come back another day and make a couple more. You will know if it is something for you or not.

Great location within a state park. Trail is fairly flat with no real downhill sections. You seem to be slightly climbing for the entire trail, which is disappointing. Very scenic once you get deep into the woods though.
