Description: Most of the riding at Lake Umstead is for Beginner to Intermediate mountain bikers. The trails are shared with horses, so please yield to them if you're on a bicycle. The trails are pretty fast and can be as long as you want. You can even ride out to the airport or to Lake Crabtree.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Easy double track. It is a cool way to spend a day though as it is a big loop around the entire Umstead State Park and covers a lot of ground. If you want a challenge, jump over to Rocky Road. Not an official trail, but recognized by the locals as a hell of a technical challenge.

was disappointed...could almost ride a road bike on it. maybe not a road bike, but you know what i mean. my nine year old son and twelve year old nephew rode the whole thing.
Similar Trail: any smooth fire break with some hills.

As others have said, it is not a true technical mtb trail at all. I always enjoyed the wide trails, fire roads and the close proximity to the Raleigh area. It is a very easy ride for when you just want a relaxing ride through the woods.
