Description
This is a great trail, there are plenty of technical areas, and for the more intermediate riders there are plenty of obstacles ranging from small to large. Trail is very well maintained, and at the trailhead a small but fun elevated platform to navigate through.
A must ride for everyone!

Review: Disappointed....That I didn't have enough time in the day to do this trail several times after I finished the first loop. This is one sweet trail and a great ride! I could not get enough of this trail! It has an amazing layout, with perfect climb to decent ratios. If there is one trail to visit in the area it is this one! We arrived early (0545) and the park gates were closed, ut there are so many ways to enter the trail that you do not need to actually hit the trailhead. But if you start at the actual trail head, there is an amazing technical course for experts. The trail is well marked with plenty of options for the experienced rider to take the technical route versus the smoother flow. It all meets back with each other in a short distance, so if a ride with several friends splits at a TTF, they will not get separated too far. I was crunched for time so I could only ride once. Even in the rain it was an amazing ride. That kept us from hitting the technical obsticles but thats ok. If you go early like we did, you will eat plenty of spiders, they are everywhere. Again, I could go on and on about how amazing this trail was, i absolutley loved it. I hit a few trails in the area this weekend, and wish I skipped some of them just to hit this one again. A sweet flow and amazing layout make this a must on my list of trails to come back to. Now, there is another sweet trail in Williamsburg that is not yet listed on this website, i plan on adding it soon. I will call it Clover Leaf Trail because that is how it was described to me. It is another amazing trail. I think it is a local gem and not too many know aout it, so I hope to not spoil it for anyone. Monticello Ave, near the intersection of Ironbound Road. Park at the Panera Bread and ride down Monticello against traffic for about 1/4 mile, the trail starts in the woodline on the left, you cant miss it. You must visit the BIKE BEAT, located about 1/2 mile up the road from this trail. A great staff and wonderful shop, amazing mechanics and a true heart for mountain biking, they were helpful and guided me to these two amazing trails.

Similar Trail: A local gem not yet named or listed that I will add called Clover Leaf Trail, just off of Montecello Ave down from the intersection of Ironbound Rd. In Williamsburg, VA

Review: One mans roof is another mans floor. A WONDERFUL trail. A truly pure xc experience with fast flowy singletrack for the cardio enabled. No climbing to speak of, but delicious rolling terrain. One of the best designed and layed out trails I have ridden. Especially well crafted switchbacks. EVMA does nice work for sure. Flowy, rooty bliss. Not a technical trail at all, but a really impressive skills area is at the entrance to the trail. Probably not for the total beginner (i.e never been on a trail) but great for trail ragers. I am from Ohio and was here on vacation. This served as my morning ride while visiting. Bikes Unlimited was also a great bike shop and very friendly.

Review: This trail is NOT for beginners and isn't very "intermediate", either. The off-road mountain bike trail is named "Redoubt Run" and is NOT for beginners. Some of the trail is very tight in spots and trees are very close.

Review: This trail is well maintained and a lot of fun. There are markers along the way to let you know how far you have gone, emergency outs in case you get hurt or have something break on your bike, and they have added to it so that it is now a 7 mile loop. The technical aspects of the trail add a lot of fun, but if you are a beginner then you can go around many of them. Overall, this was a great trail, but I only gave it 4 stars due to the lack of mileage. Don't let this deter you from visiting it though.

Review: I went on this trail yesterday and it was great! Nothing too technical but because I'm not very fit some of the climbs were pretty challenging. Can't wait to go back once I have the legs!

Review: this trail is far better than the indian river trail. well maintained and marked every half mile. there are a lot of right and left switchbacks, roots and uphill climbs. you have to pay attention to the trail because any wrong move you can go down into the ravine. they have a more technical trail,witch is marked, that has log jumps and various obsticles. at the trail head there is a couple of built wooden platforms.

Review: This trail is more of a "ride in the park" than a mountain bike challenge. Of the Williamsburg area trails, I consider it the easiest, with Marl Ravine at YRSP being the hardest. However, this trail is still a pure joy to ride. The hills are generally pretty gradual, however there are a lot of switchbacks and twisting and turning. This is what makes the trail, in part, so much fun. There are some fun hills to coast up and down, but nothing too extreme. And with emergency exists throughout the trail, you don't even have to ride the full circuit. There aren't too many roots or rocks on the trail, however the hard earth will make you skid if you're not careful, as it is kind of slippery even when dry. Overall, I would consider this more of a playground trail than a real workout or technical challenge. That being said, I must repeat that it is a pure joy to ride and is an excellent trail with great scenery, smells, and thrills. * Note the double black diamond warmup course at the beginning, by the parking lot. This can be a real challenge and is a great spot for practicing some real technical riding. It is short and easier once you run it enough to master it, but definitely a gem. This alone is worth traveling to the park.
