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.

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!

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.

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.
