Parking for the trailhead is immediately on the right as you come in the main area of the park near the trail map.The trail is scenic, weaving through large hardwood trees, crossing streams, and passing between Abbott's Creek and Finch Pond. Behind the pond, the trail leads to a 50 foot overlook of the bending Abbott's Creek below The various skill level sections offer an enjoyable ride for all levels of experience. There is a 1/4 mile gravel lake loop and ½ mile singletrack/ flow beginner's loop for those who are just getting a feel for trail rides. riders can choose from a 1.5 mile intermediate loop or a 3.5 mile intermed/advanced loop. The course has a nice variety of creekside winding single track, built up modern flow sections, and even a few old school technical sections. There are armored sections, bridges, and technical rock gardens with ride arounds for less experienced riders. A favorite berm , "Himalaya" wraps around almost 360 degrees, In February 2020, the Roadies and Dirties will also be adding in an additional half mile leg of the trail that provides a much higher difficulty level for advanced riders.
