Description: There are a few trails in the park; Otter Creek, Valley Overlook and Red Cedar. Trail maps can be picked up at the park (see map link above for a copy). The Information Center (1.4 miles from the entrance, just past the Nature Center) is open all the time. The Nature Center and the Office should also have maps on hand. The trails allow you to make up your own loops, ask a local for recommended routes. The trail has some hills and technical sections with plenty of log crossings, roots and rocky sections.

This park is open again and the trails are open. just went there today. There is one section that is covered in sediment from recent flooding but is not closed. It does cost $3 per person to get into the park now but I wanted to make sure to get out the info that the park is reopened.

Great trail system to work your technical skills over obstacles such as roots and rocks. This place has a lot to offer in the local area and is a great spot for someone just getting into the sport to expand their capabilities. There are also plenty of variations to try, so you won't get bored by hitting it over and over if you live in the local area.

This trail has a lot to offer. There are many different loops you can do. You can use the paved park roads to make your own custom trail by jumping around. There is a nice mix of downhills, roots, mud (in season) and ruts. You can get some good speed up, but always be alert for the next challenge! Some portions of the trail are shared with hikers and horses, but it never seems to be too crowded. I love to ride past the campgrounds and smell the campfires burning...
