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.
