Overview

This ride is next to the Global Foundries Technology Park. It's a good short mud season ride as the sand base keeps the trails in good shape.

Description

This is mostly intermediate riding with a couple of short steep climbs. The trail can get a little confusing as it loops and crosses in various places. However, you can't really get lost as you are never very far away from the road. If you are navigationally challenged, bring a GPS or the MTB Project MTB Project mobile app, so you can find you way back to your car. Watch out for ticks.

It's mostly fun, easy singletrack, but there are some logs and stumps and other quick technical challenges to keep you on your toes.

What a gem!!! Smooth, flowy trails with hard pack and a few roots. Couple of bridges and some log obstacles but easy to navigate around.

Today was very wet and cold, I wish there was a better map considering the map only shows about 10% of the trails. My favorite was the white trail. 5mi

Great trails, surprisingly smooth and hard packed but technical enough to keep you on your toes. A few decent climbs/drops but a lot of fast flow. 5mi
