Trail Description:
Great trails for the average weekend mountain biker. On a clear day, New Hampshire is visable from the tower on top of the mountain. Ride the blue trail to the top from the parking lot instead of driving up on the short paved road. White trail is also excellent. Tons of steep and technical climbs followed fairly difficult decents. Lots of huge rocks, roots and other fun stuff. You could ride all day on this trail.

How to get there:
Take exit 67 off of Rt. 84 and follow Rt. 30. Turn left on Burbank Rd. which will turn into Gulf Rd. Entrance to park will be on left.

Additional Notes:
There are never any maps so try to remember the one that is near the tower.
