I highly recommend this park, it has a something for everyone. There is a lot of singletrack and fire roads to explore, and for those who enjoy technical features there is more than enough to keep your interest. Recently there was a new mountain bike specific trail opened up marked by a Yellow Triangle and "MBRC". It is unfortunately not marked on the map; neither are the freeride zones which consist of small and large drops up to around 10 ft, some bridges leading to drops and small berms. I haven't seen the trails since Irene, however the locals are good about clearing trees off the main routes
Similar Trail: I recommend Blue Hills. Its more technical, the elevation changes are much more significant and the scenery is amazing. If you are near Abington hit up Ames Nowell. Its a quick workout, theres more to explore beyond the power lines and great for those starting out.

Trails have been pretty well cleared of most of the debris from the winter. It's wet were you'd expect it to be wet (swampy areas) as well as Mount Hope. Taking a left up MH2 was like riding a brooke for much of it as well as taking a right cutting back up at MH4. Other than that singletrack is in good condition.

Riding was fun today. Plenty of snowmobiles around packing down fire roads for some good riding. Cross country skiers throughout singletrack which makes for good riding - as long as temps stay down. Got a bit soft as temps rose around noon - so on the warmer days I'd stay on the snowmobile tracks (to the East of Union St)

I started MTB about 1.5 yrs ago. I have aprox 120+ rides at Wompatuck. It has grown with me from being a novice on paved paths to doing jumps and 10' drop offs. This is to say there is something for everyone here, as well as good scenery with evidence of an interesting history all around. With any large area it can be frustrating your first few rides here putting all the singletracs together in a nice fluid run. However, If you plan well with a map you can ride hours with hardly any paved sections and will hardly ever bump into hikers on trails.(unlike Fells)

Jumps have really been worked on and beefed up. Lot's of solid work done over there!

Great network of singletrack. Some sick jumps and drop offs. Nice plank work to play on with a teeter-totter to boot. Great place no matter what you like to ride, some nice fast trails, some rocky - although didn't come across anything super technical on my first ride, but the jumps were a surprise for sure! Great scenery as well. Paved bike path links up various areas.

Good network of rolling singletrack, intersected frequently by paved roads. Some decent climbs and technical, if brief, descents. Unfortunately it's difficult to really get into a nice flow because the singletrack is so often broken up by paved roads.

Stellar network of well-marked trails. Grab a map at the parking lot and stick to the singletrack. A few hours worth of trails are here with lots of variety, but this is some well-maintained quality New England riding. Remnants of the ammuniton bunkers from the park's prior owners are still viewable in a few places, and the trails are hard packed, rooty, and fast in many places. A great variety, and the free ride network is a blast to end the ride on. Highly recommended.

Great place to ride. Good freeride area. Some technical areas(lots of roots,rocks,and steep climbs). Some decent downhill spots. The entire park is a good couple hour ride at an intermediate pace. One of my favorite places to ride.
