Description
A lot of these trails are easy doubletrack. But, there's a lot of really cool single track branching off. I go here once a week. It's a little small for my taste, but it's nice. Not too hard, not too easy. Some of the trails are a little hard to find due to the construction that's going on. Some are actually no longer in existence in parts, but, with a little work, you can find your way.

Review: First time riding this trail and I can confirm that most the reviews are quite accurate. Lots of trails sectioning off for the larger double wides. Spent 3 hours today and had a great ride the entire time. Has some great "hidden" features that take a little looking but its all worth it. Equal climbing and downhill runs with nothing to technical. Great for someone wanting to get into the sport! Trails are as easy or hard as you make them Try to find the "Roller Coaster" that was my favorite section of trail.

Review: I rode these trails for the first time today and will definitely be back now that I know my way around. I rode for 3 hours and was thoroughly entertained. There are a lot of fast downhill runs on double and single track. The longer you go uphill the longer you'll go down obviously. Well Worth checking out especially if you live near by.

Review: These trail seem to get better every time I ride them, thanks to GATR. I like using the wide gravel paths to climb and descending on the singletrack. Exposed granite sections are a little tricky to follow but add to the fun of these trails.

Review: from the slickrock to the singlerack if you can find them. this park has alot to offer. isnt marked, so you really have to scope out some of these trails. alot of the singletrack in this park is on the right when going in crossing the bridge.

Review: Never before have my expectations for a trail been exceeded as much as they were at Tribble Mill. Based on the reviews here, I wasn't expecting much but we rode for 2.5 hours today with very little doubling back, and I know we didn't ride all of the singletrack. Most of the trails are in great shape, and there is a lot of variety from open granite sections to windy fast singletrack to sloppy creek crossing. I'll definitely go back in the future, and recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Review: I would put this as a blue/green trail. I go here every day after work and did the 12 hour race they had here a while ago. It is a really great trail system that you can just follow for hours. It is by far not the most difficult thing I have done but it does offer some challenges. It is well suited for any biker type. There is a nice little 1.55 mile loop around the lake (the one past the bridge, not the one you go over in your car) when you get to the speed hump at the top of the hill; its pretty good for beginners. The other trails branching from there have some fairly good climbs for the more experienced riders along with some creek crossings. The only complaint I have is that the equestrians are generally very stuck up here and the walkers tend not to watch out for you. Have fun!

Review: A jumble of short loops and side spurs that are mostly singletrack or doubletrack. A bit of nice scenery here and there but mainly tight and twisty trails through the woods. I rode about 8 miles today and I left feeling a little confused, honestly. I explored all the possiblities I saw but I feel like I must have still missed out on something because I was a bit bored on the trails. Much of the singletrack has the feel of old hiking trails rather than bike specific trail. Even though they were twisty and tight, I'd hardly call it technical riding either. Maybe this is one of those places that you have to hit up with a local tour guide.

Review: the amount of trails in this park is ridiculous!! only problem is, there virtually zero signage. navigation is an issue, but if i was able to invest a good deal of time and ride here on multiple occasions, i'm sure it would be possible to figure everything out. that being said, the outer loops are pretty wide doubletrack and not really worth the effort. what you really need to be looking for are the true-singletrack spurs going everywhich way. if you look around you will be able to find some sweet singletrack, nice jump sections, and a whole bunch of SLICKROCK riding!! i had no idea there was slickrock like this in georgia!! so all in all, not a bad ride.

Review: I am a beginner (at the age of 47) at riding singletrack and have ridden this trail on three separate occasions. The first time I was on a converted confort bike and nearly killed my self. It only had 40mm of front fork travel and I had to use a cyclecross tire on the back wheel and it was on a wet day...it was dangerous, but it wet my appetite for singletrack. I invested in a full suspension mountain bike with 100mm of travel both front and back. Huge differance. I am now able to hit the roots without the wheels sliding off and losing traction. Tribble Mill Park is full of exposed roots, some as tall as four inches. It also has some pretty steep hills, both up and down. There is a lot of exposed granite which can be a bit of a rough ride on a dry day but gets pretty scary and slippery when wet. I am at the point where I can ride almost completely around the upper lake without dismounting. I have seen other younger riders take the same areas I dismount on at breakneck speed. I'm sure as I get more familiar with my bike I will be hitting these areas just as fast. I have to say Tribble Mill has great trails for beginners, intermediate riders and experts. Everyone can find a challenging trail, and new trails are being cut all the time by Gwinnett Area Trail Riders chapter of SORBA.

Review: There are certainly way more than 3 miles of trails out there. i'd say closer to 10 or 12 if you ride everything. this park continues to stay under the radar, which is amazing because it is so close to the metro area. go explore!

Review: Tribble Mill is tons of fun. People, you have to get off the asphalt and explore! I particularly like Tribble Mill in the fact that no organization has gone in and tore it up and blocked trails. You can find so much here. Go all the way down the gravel service road to the gate where theres a neighborhood, take a left and experience some FUN technical downhill, immediately followed by a gut busting climb (still have yet to make it up). Theres a good bit of steep fast downhills. This course is a must for locals who prefer techincal courses and can't seem to find it at Yellow River. Watch for horse poo and glass on the granite sections.

Review: Went with couple of friends this week to these trails, but didn't like it very much. I prefer trails that you can immerse yourself into it... going uphill and downhill without having to "get out" of the trail to start over again! You have to keep going back to the asphalt or double tracks to "start over" because looks like you can try only going down hill. It will take a MASTER to try and climb those trails back up! We got lost couple of times and the trails doesn't seem to be maintained at all - loose roots all over the place and some passages are impassable! Really, not difficult!. You simply have to get down from your bike, carry it uphill and continue... That's a breaker for me.

Similar Trail: Hopefully none!

Review: Tribble Mill is great to do cardio on. It is not that technical, and there are enough loops to keep you lost for miles. You can easily average about 7.6-8mph and do about 10 miles without repeating anything. Just watch out for horse poo, deer and rabbits. The best way to ride this trail is to go in the park, ride your car up the main street to the top of the hill (after the bridge) and then you will find a gravel access road. Park there and take one of the trails on the right. After you get to the bottom, loop around the lifted lake, and take one of the many trails in the woods. Nothing is labeled, and all the trails look similar, but itís easily doable since you can just find a way to go back downhill and end up by the lifted lake.

Review: I ride this trail at least once a week lots of side trails to explore. If you look you can find cool trails that connect to the main trail. There is a gravel road at the top of the hill with a few trails. Great to teach someone to ride or for a quick ride after work/school. Be prepared to get muddy if it has been raining recently.

Review: I have been going out to Tribble for a couple of years and I seem to always find new trails. I am not sure who is cutting in the trails, but sure makes the riding diffrent. Some of the older trails are pretty cut up. I take my six year old out with me there. Starting at the red bridge on the right has alot of trails going up the hill to the gravel road and also on the other side going to the playground. It is close for me, that is why I like it. Have fun....

Review: This trail is right around the corner from the house. I tried it today for the first time, and enjoyed it. It took 1 hour to do 2 trips around the lake, so bear that in mind. I stopped just beyond the red bridge and found that to be a good enter/exit point as well. Quite scenic back in the woods I might add. Watch out for the 1 steep hill - It might have been affected by the rain lately. You go along and then take a 90 left turn and it's right there. The rain has washed the right portion away, so don't do barreling through the turn and swing wide.

Review: This is a good course with a wide variety ok skill level. I personally enter off of Chandler road and go to the right. You will have a quick drop and then the sky is the limit. Continue down that path and do a quick loop of the lake or take an uphill trail to the right and discover some quick single track. On the other side, next to the playground is a trail with a water crossing over granite.

Review: This is a great trail to teach your friends or kids to mtn. bike. It's very easy with some fun spots. We like to brave the creek that flows over some very large flat rocks towrds the end of the ride.

Similar Trail: We also like the Yellow River (river side) trail.
