Date Ridden: 07/25/2010  -  Bryan of Rock HIll, SC Route Taken: Main Opinions: This trail is really tore up right now. It is in serious need of maintenance. There are certain areas that are very grown up with brush making it hard to ride through. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 07/14/2010  -  Matt of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Opinions: Regarding signage... nobody is complaining about getting hopelessly lost in the woods. This isn't Alaska. But a poorly marked trail makes the ride less enjoyable. Most mountain bike riders are not looking to leisurely explore an unmarked system of trails.... no matter how easy it is to make your way back to the parking lot. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 05/07/2010  -  Garrett of Fort Mill, SC Route Taken: All Opinions: Very nice trail. Is not hard to get lost at all. there are arrows pointing you where to go. Many Challenges with the roots,rocks and tight bends. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 04/03/2010  -  Joe of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: School Loop West to Prairie Loop to Sugar Loop - about 10 miles. Opinions: The trail is not marked very well. We headed toward the Prairie Loop but as near as I can tell, we never found the trail - unless it's a dirt and gravel road. The Sugar Loop was the toughest part. I'd recommend doing that first if you're not in the best shape. I'd rate that part a 4/5 in difficulty. The rest was a 2/5. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Great trail and close to my house. Lots of hills and roots and a couple of little rockie areas. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET LOST! Even if you are useless at directions you end up by a road so you can ride that back. Signs are good tho I couldnt find the short loop that is on the map. I wiped out on the rocks coz I was going too slow. Other than that this is a lot of fun and a great training ground for new riders. Make sure to take water its a nice long ride.

Date Ridden: 12/01/2009  -  Richard of Fort Mill, SC Route Taken: School Loop West Opinions: I just wanted to add another note about signage. This is a loop single trek. Where the hell do you need signs. The trail is so obvious and its not like there is anywhere else you can go other than the track. Pleeeeese stop bitching about it. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 11/22/2009  -  jake of charlotte, nc Route Taken: all Opinions: For anyone who says it badly marked your just studid. There is no way to get lost unless you leave the obvious trail right under your nose. Its a great ride and all the options that may branch off from the main trail connect right back within 20 feet. you want a fun 1-2 hour ride, check this trail out! Difficulty: Trail Rating:

How are you going to get lost, it’s not even in the mountains!! Go to Wilson’s Creek and ride something that’s not off 181 and then you can say your lost!

It is true they are not very well marked, however the map available at the head of the trail at the complex is very informative. I would be happy to take anyone out who wants a tour..Email me ferrara@comporium.net Opinions: For a local ride, this one rocks. It is not very technical, however the roots will jump up and get you if you are not careful. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 10/04/2009  -  Blake of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Entire trail... well... what is left of it. Opinions: OK... More disappointment in the mountain biking community. At one point this trail was roughly 13 miles of single track once Sugar Island was completed. First thing they (Springs) did was exclude mountain bikes from the railroad trestel out to the Dairy Barn. Most recenetly, they have excluded bikes from riding any of the single track after the gravity cavity. That cuts out almost 4 miles (out and back) of trail!!! WTF? At least they sent a crew out lately for the fall cut and got rid of the growth that was overtaking the trail. I for one am disappointed and say we ride it anyway. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 09/27/2009  -  Ramses of Wesley Chappel, NC Route Taken: I beleive it was clockwise, west loop, school loop, valley, climbing sugar creek loop, east loop back to entrance. All in all this is the hardest route to take. Opinions: Its about 10 that starts off with a nice downhill then some varying terrain with nice scenery off the creek and then some grueling climbs once you enter sugar creek. The signage is not that bad, take your time to look at the map and understand where you are going, or you can simply stay to your left. The trail Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 07/18/2009  -  Bryan of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Opinions: Decent trail but should be marked better, especially since you have to pay to ride it. I ride for the exercise and the fun of riding... not to "explore the wilderness" or wander through the woods. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Yes I can confirm what others have written "it is easy to get lost". Excellent trails with fun technical areas. The day we road it was very muddy. I wanted to ride the school loop west but had difficulty finding my way. My 10 and 12 year old children road with me. We all enjoyed the ride and exercise. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 05/16/2009  -  Trailblazer of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Entire Trail Opinions: We were very impressed with the entire trail system at Springs. You really get the feeling of being “In the Woods” and not the feeling of being surrounded by our urban sprawl that some of the other area trails give you, which is my next point. I’m reading some of the previous posts that read “needs better markings”, “not marked adequately”, “extremely easy to get lost”, “trails horribly marked”. A part of being outdoors is part of the adventure. I’d much rather use some of my natural senses to figure out were I’m at rather than “Signs” everywhere. We see enough of those “signs” all around us on a daily basis. Go out and figure out the trail system through trial and success and not rely so much on looking for “Signage”, because one day the “Sign” my not be there. What will you do then? I guess that all depends on the audience that is reading this. “ Stay Human” as someone else once said. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 04/12/2009  -  Michael of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: School loop Opinions: Excellent trail. As others have mentioned it could benefit from better markings but in all honesty once you get around one time it's pretty easy to figure out. I'm a beginner and this trail had lots to offer for people like me and more advanced riders. There were only a couple of spots that I elected to get off and walk and in total I probably only walked a 200 yards but I'd say half of that was to get around some really muddy areas. This course has lots of roots and lots of fast downhill sections (over roots) which made for a lot of fun. I'd highly recommend this trail for both beginners and more advanced riders. I'll probably make this a regular trail since I live close by. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 04/05/2009  -  Will of gastonia, NC Route Taken: All Opinions: The trails are in great shape and are unigue in that riders of all levels can enjoy the trail. The improvement that is needed is that the trails need to be marked better, especially since this is a fee trail. It would be a safer place with some type of trail marking system, such as color placards or shape placards. The map at the trail head is useless!!!! Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 04/03/2009  -  TheKryingame of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Opinions: My issue is not really with the trails but with the park. You pay $3.00 as an entrance fee. You're given a map and sent your merry way. The problem, like most people have already stated is, the trials are not marked adequately. What's the purpose of having a map and when you get on teh trail, it's difficult pinpointing your location. It's extremely easy getting lost in this park because there are so many unmarked side trails. Before you know it, you're miles away by the red barn or the train. If you get on the trials, you'll know what I'm talking about. I don't think that I'll ever return to this park due to the inconsistent markings. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 07/31/2008  -  Todd of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Dip in to the left, stay left, go up through the creek trail, down by the road, then Sugarland loop Opinions: Ok..the map sucks and it is confusing for the first 3 times you go, BUT the trails are SWEET and easy to learn. Go get lost 2 or 3 times and youll figure it out real quick. Much prefer this to Renny or C.Fran.Beatty, even though they are good trails.

Took the easternmost trail and came back down south around the loop to where I started. Yes, it could be difilcut to find yourself around. I went with my GPS and it was helpful.

Date Ridden: 01/29/2008  -  brico of fort mill, sc Route Taken: 2 main southside loops Opinions: (lets get that less-than-readable review off the top there) the drag of this trail is not the $3. its worth it! it's the complete lack of signage! the trail maps available at the kiosk trail head are somewhat accurate while the map on the kiosk itself is a bit different! until i memorized the trail i had to stop and break out the pocket map no fewer than 7 times just to make sure i knew where i was. this is a particularly easy trail to lose yourself on because it is intertwined with horse and hiker trails. when theres no signs its easy to find yourself 1 mile off course before you know it. as for the trail itself. this is a fun very fast course. not alot of hills to work through like renaisance or catawba. a back portion follows RIGHT on the river edge with a 10 foot drop so dont get off balance or miss a turn! lots of narrow 3 plank bridges that make you mind your p's and q's as well. this trail can be likened to col. francis park in its difficulty. though this has far fewer climbs to stress over. i live right next to the park so i use this several times a week.

Shut up and ride. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

I'll be back. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 10/27/2007  -  Don Watts of Goose Creek, SC Route Taken: No Clue..was lost the whole time practically, no signs and map was useless.

Was there to check out theh trail for the upcoming Tree Shaker race. This should be interesting. Need signage and the IMBA Trail Care Crew. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

This adds an option for more climbing which was the only thing missing (besides signs). Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 07/04/2007  -  Addison Berry of Fort MIll, SC Route Taken: complex tunnel, take the climb instead of diving into the woods right after u go under the bridge, the bring u out to the bowl. did the back section and did it backwards and came back through the bowl area and then north tunnel climb out. Opinions: great single track. its a fun trail because it a very fast paced slope. its diversity is great... sugar island is a lot of climbs but that can easily be save for last. the bowl is great if your technical.

Nothing complicated about the trail and it has been well maintained. Only a few spots is it technical, but for the most part can be a quick/speedy ride!

Ended up back at the same place and then rode the Complex Tunnel side. Opinions: Trail was hard, packed, fast with some technical drops but nothing too steep. Has almost everything from open meadows to tight twisting singletrack, through woods, under the roadway through tunnels, and singletrack along the river. Ther are some amazing bridges both fixed and swinging. Did the gravity cavity although not the 90 degree angle trail. No climbs to speak of, but hey, it was a very fast trail so no complaints here!

If you don't pay no one will stop you, but your car might be 75 bucks to get back. Parking is now only at the sports complex on 160, not at Dairy Barn on 21 as stated above. Fun & Fast with several swinging bridges, several fixed bridges, and a gravity cavity with no trespassing signs (yeah right). Lots of long fast straightaways. Sugar island looks to be the only nice technical trail and really needs to be ridden. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Trail markings could have been better. The Park offers a map, but sometimes you have to make an educated guess where you are - definitely don't want to take a chance if you're burning daylight! I want to go back to make a better overall opinion. The trail was winding and easy to keep speed. The suspension bridges are large and fun to cross. Appears that park mgmt is now asking bikers to NOT use the Dairy Barn lot and instead go to the south trailhead where the Main Park/Community Center is off Hwy 160 east of Ft Mill. When you turn into the Community Center, follow main drag straight back to back lot between the ball fields, look for small kiosk at trailhead. Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 06/03/2003  -  Chuck of Charlotte, NC Route Taken: Didn't ride it Opinions: The management at ASCG has seen fit to institute an unfair fee structure that makes it too expensive to ride ($160 a year for non-residents). They're running us off Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 08/03/2002  -  James of Indian Trail, NC Route Taken: All available trails Opinions: Used to be fun, until it was ruined by riders not paying for use on private land. Riders can cry about the fees, or stop the jerks who give us a bad name. As long as the fees are used for maintenance (which the office said it would be) it would be fair. $13/month for a great trail that all you have to do is ride, no work. Quit whinning...

Opinions: the new trails are great and lots of fun to ride there now!!! great job, to whoever worked on them!!! the trails are better marked now; sort of... watch out for other riders on the trail!!! it would be nice if the new trails had arrows on them for what direction to ride on them. it would be great if the older trails were opened back up for a more of a loop pattern idea near the dairy barns...watch out for the horse riders...don't get lost...

Date Ridden: 07/09/2001  -  D-Dub of Fort Mill, SC Route Taken: North Tunnel-Along Creek - Sugar Island- Complex Tunnel Opinions: This is a great trail. The sugar island loop is now complete (and not a dead end)and in good shape. It comes back around to the Complex tunnel trail near the tunnel. This adds an option for more climbing which was the only thing missing (besides signs). Difficulty: Trail Rating:

Date Ridden: 06/17/1991  -  David of Fort Mill, South Carolina Route Taken: Everywhere Opinions: I like ridding the complex trails when I dont have time to make it to one of the big 3. I think its kinda boring, but that might be because ive been riding it for 12 years or so. main complaint: the new trails are great, but id still like to be able to ride the old trails because the speed of them was my favorite part. (ps, thanks to the guys who felt the need to block off the old trails as far as a quarter mile in both directions to add to my pleasure when im walkin my bike back after my lights go dead) Difficulty: Trail Rating:
