Some with huge drops others with small drops and some with see saws. There is one main one witch is over 200ft long and ends three ways 2 dropoffs and one see saw.

There is also a BMX park in a little gully right as you come into the trail. There is a huge jump for the very experienced riders which is a 35' road gap with a 15' high jump. There are many other ladder

all ladders have been torn down by park services. there are now 5-6 miles of off-road trails. bring a spare tire, lots of exposed small tree trunks and roots

I would think 25% paved and 75% trails. Great place to ride. Amazing jumps and obstacles! Something for all skill levels.

this is a great trail to practice on. the flow could be a little better, but its a wonderfull trail to go and enjoy an afternoon on, or do some training especially if your new to this sport.

Take your time and look around. There are many many more challenging hidden obstacles all around there. If you think that its 50% paved you havn't been on half the trails.
