Trail Description:
There are two sets of trails in this small wooded park. Maps are available at the park headquarters. "M" trails are main routes and "A" trails are offshoots and shortcuts. The turns are quick and twisty. You'll find some short climbs and drops on limestone bluffs but nothing that will let you open it up and rip.

M-1 is loaded with tight turns with some roots. M-2 is the most technical section with terrain ranging from limestone rocks to roots and drops. M-3 drops into a swampy area full of mud. Especially after is rains. The mud is like a cling on girlfriend. Extremely sticky! Be prepared for a tough wash job after riding in this mud.

Bike are allowed to ride in only one direction.

How to get there:
