Overview

This ride is a full tour of the park that uses all three trails, Purser-Hulsey Main Loop, Enchanted Forest, and Backside Loop with a total distance right at 5 miles.

Description

Purser Hulsey Park starts from the parking lot off of Phillips Road and continues in the counterclockwise direction for bikers. As you enter the woods, take the right option, and continue on the Purser-Hulsey Main Loop. After two thirds of a mile, take a right at the intersection with Enchanted Forest and then another right when the trail merges back with the Purser-Hulsey Main Loop. After 1.5 miles, take a right at the intersection with Backside Loop. Continue on Backside Loop for right around three miles where the trail merges again with the Purser-Hulsey Main Loop. Stay to the right and finish the last half mile of the ride on Purser-Hulsey Main Loop.
