Trail Description:
Some really good trails for the intermediate mountain biker. Comes out halway around the lake at a very nice vista. At the vista you can cross into second woods for some really good steep technical riding. A couple of good descents and a couple of good, short climbs.
How to get there:
Take Interstate 88 to Exit 3 (castle creek?) Take a left at the stop sign at the end of the off-ramp and continue on this road until you see the entrance to the park on your left hand side.
Additional Notes:
After leaving the pay area, stay right and go around the loop, past the ranger's house to left

georgeDecember 14, 20111. Don't wash your shoes. They're going to get dirty each time so get over it!2. Give asiprned ankles more time to heal than you think they need! Sturctural strength comes back w/in 4 weeks but functional strength takes 8-12 weeks.3. Do not accept that blisters are something every trail runner has to put up with. Find out WHY you get them and do something about it to prevent them from coming back.4. Share the time on the trail with a friend.5. Smell the roses or redwood trees but take some time to enjoy the surroundings.6. Don't let lack of water or calories cut your runs short! Bring what you need so you can run as long as you'd like.7. Walking hills is not only acceptable but adventageous if you want to stay out longer.8. Yes, you CAN run barefoot on trails.9. Get ready for and enjoy the feeling of adventure out there. 10. Say hi to people you pass as they're out there to enjoy the surroundings just like you. 11. Have a

December 14, 20111. Seek out your local trail running group. You'll be lwobed over by the sense of community and camaraderie.2. Run with the old guys. You'll learn your most important lessons from the people who have been doing this the longest.3. Trail runners carry water. Always carry more than you think you'll need because you never know when you'll be out there longer than you planned or need to help someone who's run out themselves.4. Take time to stop and enjoy the views, especially on training runs. Otherwise you might as well be road running. Chris Russell5. Walking or hiking is intelligent race strategy, not weakness or laziness. Robert Trottman6. Throw pace out the window initially. Trying to run your normal road pace on trails is a recipe for disaster and disappointment. Brian Ricketts7. It is poor form to leave gel packets or pieces of gel packets on the trail.8. The trail gods will smile down upon you if you pick up any gel pac

About 13 miles of trails that are poorly marked by VERY WELL maintained by the Chenango Point Cyclers club. One day there's a tree limb blocking the trail; the next day: sawdust.
Once you leave "River Road" the best series of trails in the park is up "Hamburger Hill" but the climb is well worth it. Trails are marked at some trail junctions with small markers like "S" or "R". Those that have maintained the trails have done an excellent job of constructing obstacles for the enjoyment of MTBs.

rough riding with many rocks. Some roots. Did it when it was dry, can imagine rocks are rather slippery when wet. Many up and downs, which are short. a few switch-backs make it alittle technical.Nice ride along river on a very narrow single track.

Great variety for all. Lots of rocks, roots and tree crossings. Great single track maintained by some very dedicated people. (The tall guy on the Canondale has done much for the place) It's a great 10 mile loop of single track connected by rolling jeep trails. The trail along the river rocks and the climb back up the "puke" is awesome.
