Description: Awesome trail for everybody. It has lots of lil' ups and downs covered in roots. The Tarheel Trailblazers have created a trail that really makes good use of the land with whoop-de-doos, technical short climbs and some really fast swooping singletrack. It's made up of two separate loops, both starting at each parking lot and connected by a service road and a new section of singletrack that is really fun.

Okay, so this is my first review and my first time riding a designated "singletrack" trail. The trailhead is easy to find along the back edge of the parking lot near the softball field. It's well maintained and just the right length. A lot of downhill makes it exciting and a myriad of roots and drops make it somewhat technical.

Easy access, very convienient to get to. Nice mix of terrain and a lot of fun. I bought my first high end bike in Charlotte, and got the tip to go here from the local bike shop I bought my Gary Fisher from. I wanted to start biking again, more seriously, to get in shape and loose some weight in a fun way. I lost 55 pounds and all I did was ride this park. That was it... nothing else.

Before I rode this trail I was skeptical about how a trail that is right outside of downtown could be a technical challenge. After I took a lap around loop 1 I had a different point of view. The Tarheel Trailblazers have made good use of the land and have given people that live near charlotte an escape from the hsutle of the city. A+

Fun trail to ride. The short track is the best to take a few loops on. I rode it for the first time during the Winter Short Track Series.

well maintained, with nice drop-ins; did not complete trail ride due to chain breaking on partner's bike; btw reccomend bikesource on woodlawn if you ever need repairs while in this area.

2 short but technical loops. Has a little of everything except fast downhills. It doesn't drain well, so expect to get muddy if it has rained. It is well taken care of and worth the time to ride. It's a great trail for the middle of the city.

A fun track that brings a good bit to the table. Very technical, lots of roots, some tough placements of rocks and trees. Not the biggest place but it will knock you on your b*** if you are not on your game.
