Overview

All new trail system around a beautiful fishing and kayaking lake close to town. Bike skills park is a big fun bonus for a small trail system.

Need to Know

No fees. Plenty of facilities and town half mile away.

Description

This featured route showcases all the varied surface terrain we offer and its intended direction. We also hold a small race during our Ridenour Regatta, and this is almost the same course. All trails are multi directional. 28-acre lake with facilities and multiple trail surfaces.

History & Background

50 years ago, I believe this area was originally a golf course.

How about some trail makers.!!!!.. This trail seems very nice, but with intersecting trails being new to the park it was confusing.
