Family Friendly A wide, gradual trail perfect for kids and beginners!

Description

This is a nice, wide doubletrack (for the most part). It's great for beginners just getting into mountain biking and for those looking for a light cardio workout. This trail loops around and through the pines as it ascends/descends this park's ridges. Going counter-clockwise results in a fairly steep climb just north of the ponds, but otherwise a fairly tame, but nice ride.

A decent area with several trails to explore. Quite a few roots, off-camber turns, and sand pits - be careful of slipping out. 4.6mi
