the trail is open and has been for some time now. there are lots of man made ramps to catch plenty of air off of, and there is the "playground" now has a triple teeter as well as some balance beams and other types of teeters.

This trail is now closed due to construction. It was a really great trail, they held several collegiate "club" races there.

This trail was crazy! Allbeit my first time mtbing. I should have started off a little bit easier. I'm sure this would be awesome if you were a seasoned vet. It was a struggle in some parts, but a ton of fun. Lots of climbs, drops, technical riding, some fun stuff too...balance beams, jumps, teetertotter. The trail definitely kicked my ass, but it will be fun to try again.

This trail is continuing to get better. The Velo club is constantly adding new sections and obstacles. If you're in Eastern NC, it is one of the better rides.

Trail is not very technical, but at least has some slight elevation which is surprising for this part of the state. Lots of roots and tight turns btwn trees forces you to pay attention. No big drops or scary descents, but you can maintain a good steady pace for a decent workout.

A great trail for this part of the state. As of now there is a 5 mile loop that has 500 ft. total elevation gain almost all single track with some nice bowls and a handful of short steep climbs. There are at least 12 kickers. There is also a somewhat technical 1/2 mile out and back and 3 miles of flat beginner trails. The land is leased for riding so it costs 2 bucks a ride or you can get a membership for $10 students or $20. Get more info at Bicycle Post in Greenville and enjoy the ride.

Rode the trail today and it is more than what I thought for flat ground near the coast. I think it has alot of push from the BMX hard chargers. Theres a jump track by the entrance. What better trail ride than to be out there where the X-Games were created

Very Stumpy Not recomended in the summer or after a rain or early in the morning.
