Features Drops/Jumps · Pump Track

The front of the park is undergoing construction through 2019, but the trails remain open and accessible during this construction. One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Overview

A fun piece of singletrack with lots of fun technical options. It's a fun fast course to work on your skills!

Need to Know

As of 2018, there is no longer a fee to access the park.

Description

Lots of markers and maps on the trail. It's a fun, easy trail with optional technical moves including log piles, skinnies, rock gardens, and craters to keep more advanced riders interested. There are no steep climbs, so beginners will have fun working on their skills at their own pace. A pump track along the north side. And a technical track near the main park. A couple of entrances- Lakeview Park (Currently under major construction and no parking access, but access to trail is just to the right of entrance off the bike path), or off of 12 1/2 mile and Dixon Rd. Parking also available near the Lake and ride in about a mile.
