Densly wooded, narrow trails with nice variety of tight turns, small hills, and straight aways. Four mile Pinball trail features ramps, jumps, and the "Air Bridge" - hand constructed wooden steep ramp/bridge... optional. Also one 6 mile trail "The Green". Plenty of cutouts along the way for shorter rides.

I have only ridden a handful of trails, but this is the best so far. The blue trail is new, the freestyle trail is now off on its own after the initial warmup ascent. Red trail has added some freestyle jumps down into a creek bed. A great place for new riders to learn technical skills without getting completely overwelmed. There is something for everyone.
OEF does a wonderful job of maintaining trail system. I think there is about 11-12 miles of trail options.
Green 4 miles
Blue 1 mile
Orange 1 mile
Yellow 3.5 mile
red 1 mile

Very fun trail. I've tried the green and yellow. rode them both in the wrong direction. I think they reversed the trail because I followed my map perfectly. Both trails were a bunch of fun, trail cut back appropriately and no ticks on two different rides. some sand, but not too bad. there are some good jumps around and the up and over bridge was very fun. the optional one was very steep and not really any point to do it more than once. I keep going back.

Very good flow. During dry periods trail becomes very sandy in some spots. Wear a helmet because I almost decapitated myself on a tree limb, have a nice excursion.

The green and yellow are fun trails, but the red has gone downhill. All the tough downhills and climbs have been taken out, so don't expect a tough ride when you go red.

The trail is in good shape and the oef is continuing to cut new trails. This is a great local trail which isn't too intense in the downhill dept. but the yellow is plenty technical at speed with some good man-made features.

Red trail rocks--killer downhills and tricks.Yellow is pretty good--i could do without a large yellow banner or sign that tells the name of every jump.Green trail--sandy and flat pretty lame

This trail has a 1/2 mile section with plenty big drops including an almost vertical 20' drop called "big dog". Only bad side is that the length of the trail isn't very long.
