Description
This trail has some awesome singletrack! Jumps galore and loads of nice free riding and technical challenges. Trail caretakers are very sensitive about riding direction. Follow the arrows and don\'t ride backwards (learned this the hard way while trying to practice for a DINO race).

Review: If to ride every advanced feature, this trail is a true black diamond: it has very steep climbs and descends, bridges, drops, rock gardens and other freeride stuff. Otherwise it's a pretty intermediate ride.
Overall I'm glad I rode this trail and will ride it again if driving by. It's somehow remind me Imagination Glenn but way more fun.
Must ride!
P.S. Trail dries quickly and very well maintained. But I can't imagine how crowded would it be in summer time - too many hikers and trail runners even this early season.

Review: Great fun for the family! My son-12, husband-48 and myself-50 enjoyed the trails tremendously. While on a five day vacation we spent three days on the trail. Something for all levels.

Review: Very nice little trail in a very nice town. The creek crossing was especially sweet even though my feet froze for the rest of the ride. Most of the trail was in great condition too.

Review: This trail was pretty challenging for me beings that I am basicly a beginer...I dont think i rode on the more challenging parts either & I got a flat after just 4 miles of riding & it began to rain so that was the end of my ride, but from what I was able to ride it was pretty cool & I will go back & try again at some point. -Update- I have since ridden this trail several times now sticking to the green trail since that is where I deem my skill set to be & I really like this trail & have not had a flat since that first ride on it. The first section does have alot of up hill to it which I suppose is not always considered fun but it's a good workout. After you get that out of the way it seems to even out as far as up hill & down which helps me feel like "ok that's atleast fair".."I went up so now i get to go down" :) This is another trail where my friends & I previously assumed we didn't belong because we were beginers. But we are now feeling comfortable there & like to ride there when ever we can.

Review: The trail starts off with a couple attention getters. 2 drop offs and a creek crossing. There are some windy climbs and some fun fast technical hard pack single track. There are some rock gardens and a couple of log piles but not a lot of obstacles. I do question the length of the trail. I think it was more like 8-9miles following the black arrows.* Review edited 11/12/2010

Review: 2nd ride ever for me, and I made it through half before we ran out of time. Well marked, well maintained. Always an option to skip the more technical parts. Very excellent jumps specifically a part called the darling trail. Can be very difficult if you ride the optional parts. Overall an excellent ride with wonderful scenery.

Review: Best trail ive rode so far! Lots of jumps in the beginning, and most of the log crossings have been turned into jumps. Good singletrack trail with a lot of tight switchbacks. Some of the jumps and drop offs would be intimidating to a beginning rider. Their is a nice drop off where you come out of a trail and cross the road back onto the trail. you just jump over the log and catch some serious hangtime. Have fun

Review: This trail network is definately a ton of fun. GREAT singletrack, with some excellent sections to just let it rip. Plenty of technical challenges with some serious jumps as well. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

Review: Some excellent singletrack in this network of trails. You can hit some nice jumps, wind your way through some tight, flowing singletrack, and challenge yourself with some technical trail (Goat trail). Pay attention to riding direction at the trail head. Follow the arrows and don't ride backwards.
