Review: Love this trail since the overhaul. Lots of fun and some nice technical areas as well as a few fast spots. If you are in great shape and can pedal hard, this trail is even more rewarding. Great work.

Review: I would consider this a fairly slow trail similar to Jones Mill, the first section is labeled beginner and it is that but it is still slow due to the winding in and out. Once you get to the "advanced" section....well lets just say it dosent get any faster with the continious rock gardens, not that I don't like rock gardens but I'm more of the fast and flowy type of rider and that seemed like all rock for about 20 miles. But once you get to the "Hillside" section it really loosens up and you can start getting some speed going and the newly added sections are pretty good to. This was my first time here and was a little disappointed just because I thought it was going to be more like Lock 4 but it wasn't. Not alot of elevation change just mild inclines/declines, definitley no fast descents here. It didn't looked very well maintained or frequently riddin due the trees that were down and the overall path conditions. I will definitley try it again, I don't care for the technical stuff as much but I know some people live for that and you definitley have that in the middle section of this, but its nothing thats real difficult just alot of it in a condensed area.

Review: One side is very slow, rocky and technical, constantly intersected by a paved road and is littered with old railings, rock piles, sketchy ramps, over grown vegetation and old spooky buildings, very murderesque and not well maintained. The other side is very flat and fast, mostly dirt with a few obstacles and hills, quick trail, close to the highway but just a phenominal speedway of a track and that will bring me back to this trail.

Review: Over 8 miles of trail here, it's almost like a secret. Flat and fast to start, then rocks and rock gardens folowed by a climb up the hill and racing back down to the end. I've never seen more than three other vechiles there.
