Basically, what everyone else has said. It's nice and tight and not very populated. However, the real challenge of it all is making sure you're on the right trail. They all seem to mesh into one.

Good things first: It's clearly set up for mountain biking with twisty forested single track and it's easy to get back out on to the park's paved roads to return to the car. However, the land just doesn't lend itself to a great mountain bike trail as it's just not very grand in any way.

I would actually call this trail a 3 and a half. there is some good riding to be had at this park but you probably won't experience it your first time there. I enjoyed the ride a lot more the second time when I wasn't searching so hard to find all the connecting trails. This park is set up so that you ride a bunch of little trails that when you are finished add up to a decent ride. However the trails are not that well marked and it is tough to find your way around the first time you ride it. Aside from that problem though the trails are well kept and the ride is a good workout.
