Overview

Big Creek MTB Park is a trail system made up of multiple loops containing beginner, intermediate and advanced trails. It has over 5 miles of cross-country singletrack, two pump tracks and an incredible freeride area. Paved parking lots provide multiple points of access to the trails and the Big Creek Greenway.

Need to Know

Always check the RAMBO web site for the latest trail information.

Description

From the main parking lot, the ride begins on Stumpy's Loop Trail, a fast and smooth green level trail with multiple elevation changes. The trail transitions to Laughing Creek trail, a short connector loop that takes you to Climbing Snake trail.

Climbing Snake kicks up the challenge level with more roots, rocks and fast flow trails. From the snake, you'll transition to Hurts So Good, which introduces sharper up and downhill sections and increases the skill level. Finally, Pine Hill hits you with a steep climb and then you hit the rest of the loops in reverse order back to the parking lot.

History & Background

Big Creek MTB Park is the largest wooded park in the city of Roswell, GA. It is a great place for riding, hiking, trail running and just enjoying nature right in the city.
