There is basically one trail, intermediate, with some offshoots for expert riders (sadistic climbs). It is around 8 1/2 miles total, with more if you take the offshoots. The trails are mostly well marked, but it helps if you have the map (you can pick it up at the entrance gate.) It is very rocky, and pretty rough, but still fun (you HAVE to have at least front suspension). There are some nice downhill sections and some good climbs. My main complaint is that there are parts of the main trail that are more like Expert trails. Towards the end there is a series of 3-4 very steep, very rocky climbs that are extremely difficult, mainly due to the lack of grip.

I went out to BLORA wed afternoon. Of the 3 trails to choose from there is only one rideable trail now. It is 6 miles in length, a few rocks jut up out of the trail, the intermediate and advanced mix together, the beginner hasnt been maintained. flatrock sections are slippery when wet, switchbacks are easy. dry trails so far..watch for deer

The trails themselves were a bit rough. Most of the decents were VERY rocky. After about 7 miles I put my brake lever all the way into my thigh half way down a hill of rocks. I had to walk and ride the remaining couple of miles. The trails were overly marked, but still hard to discern. I have much more fun at Stillhouse Lake and it is FREE.

Bad trails, Poorly marked, fresh horse hoof marks on all trails resulted in a bad ride. ohh watchout for all the horse poop everywhere on these trails.Big waste of three dollars. do not recomend

Nice trails. This has several levels of difficulty; begginner, intermediate and expert. The expert course is the best, of course. It has several very steep hills with an elevation difference around 70-100 feet. The loose dirt can pose a problem when accending. Watch out for the sharp rocks, they hurt!!
