A common parking area is here on Catulo Rd. Also, you can park at the clubhouse.Or at a 3rd ( and probably best ) entrance located on Briar Chapel Parkway.

From the Catulo Parking lot, ride north along the Parkway for a few hundred feet. Some singletrack will be on your left just past a large wooden kiosk. Alternatively, just across from the kiosk there is a mulch entrance to the hiking trail. From there, you'll see an immediate entrance to Herndon Loop, which is a nicely-built, flowing trail containing a few rock gardens and berms. A few hundred feet to the left will be an entrance to the Bennett Mountain Trail (on your right), which is a very technical, rock-filled ride. There is a small inner loop on Bennett Mountain.

Once you've completed the inner loop (Little Bennett), following the Bennett Mountain Trail will lead you to the main loop around the development. You can either go straight across the hiking trail on to Pokeberry Trail, or turn right and cross the large wooden bridge (and short rocky climb) and rejoin the biking trail on Copperhead, which is the main loop.

If parking at the Clubhouse, the easiest way to enter the trail is to exit the parking and turn left down Great Ridge Parkway. The main loop traverses the parkway. Go left for a climb up to the third parking lot, or going right will lead you to the bottom of Bennett Mountain.

If parking at the gravel lot on BC Parkway, there's an entrance behind a wooden kiosk which leads to a fun downhill, or you can cross the Parkway and find an immediate entrance to the trail which is another fun downhill. This trail will terminate at a dog park, just turn right on to the mulch trail to continue the main loop (cross a large wooden bridge) or to get to the Woods Run Out-and-Back.

All trails should now be marked and there are two large wooden bridges that you're going to cross during a loop.

Also, note the trails close when wet, please check trianglemtb.com for up-to-date trail status and workdays.
