Description: difficulty: Advance Best trail in southern LA. It is hard.. that is why it is called the Beast. Big climbs, they never stop... the whole trails is a massice climb, some of the drops are good. You need technical skills, the downhills, curve and go over trees, bridges, roots. You will have an awesome time...Where the road takes its final left hand turn before the parking area, straight ahead toward the woods is where the trail begins. A warmup trail runs around the perimeter of the park facility and is about 1 mile.
This trail was designed by the same bloke who did the great trail system in Ruston, LA (Lincoln Parish Park), James Ramsaur.
Trail ducks in and out of the woods surrounding the park. 95% twisting technical wooded singletrack. Two short sections of double track. Many twisting steep rooty off-camber hills. Good elevation change for Louisiana. Great semi-technical downhills. Trail is well marked except over the last half mile where it converges 3 times at the same point on a creek bed.

This trail has been under constant restoration, modification, and addition Since January 2009. It is currently 5-6 miles and is in the process of connecting the trailhead and end for a loop of 8-9 miles. Stay tuned to the progress here: http://www.chomxxo.com/temp/BeastLoopCompletionMap.jpg

Trail was in poor shape in 2008. Now after the races in 2010 it's in fantastic shape. Easy to follow, great technical climbs and declines- has to be the best trail in La.

Hard and advance.. best trail in Lousiana...
Similar Trail: problably Oleta... not that many obstacles, but the climbs are just as difficult
