Follow the gravel path down to the woods, The trail is VERY well marked, turns, drops, shortcuts, etc. Nothing real technical except one maybe 6 foot gully, some short really steep climbs and a few logs. good cardio workout. One long climb, some fast places and the usual roots. Very well marked and clean. |

Nice compact trail with a lot of short fairly steep inclines,has a few log crossings and a couple of small bridges,there are a few fast spots for getting up some speed,not real technical but all the short steep inclines would be a little much for beginners,its a short trail at around 3 miles but ride it in both directions and its pretty good,only drawback is there is about a 150 yard incline back to the parking lot that will give you a good workout before you leave |

I rode the outer loop first, counterclockwise, without riding the Technical loops. Next, I rode it again and included all four of the optional, technical loops. |
| Opinions: |
Taking this route made for a powerful hard workout! This trail's not as Hobby Park because it's all crowded into a small spot of land, not like Hobby which is spread out all around the whole park. It is a good trail with lots of tough climbs and sharp drop-offs. The only detraction was that you had to keep looking at the same landscape over and over again. |
