(note - my comment doesnt use capital letters because the site keeps telling me i have caps lock on)...I ride harold parker weekly. the trail we ride starts near the lot at the jenkins/harold parker rd parking lot. you cross the open field (stay to the left) and take the single track on the right as soon as you enter the woods. this trail is somewhat advanced with a lot of boulder hopping...this trail eventually crosses the fire rd...then more single track. when you get to the fork in the trail stay right...this crosses the fire rd again (and again)...all single track. you eventually come to a loop trail marked with yellow triangles...we go clockwise on the loop although many go counter. this is the most fun riding i have had around here hence hitting it weekly. I'm intermediate/advanced skill-wise but in lousy shape...so i think an intermediate rider would be comfortable here as long as you dont dislike a challenge.

Been a couple of times. Still looking for that sweet single track... maybe the one by the gun club? But I did find some decent track on the "White" marked trail. You'll find it past the swimming pond and the gravel walking trail.

I have been to Harold Parker several times. It is an
excellent place to ride. This is not apparent until
you ride there a couple times. After a while, you will
find some real nice singletrack and be pleasantly
surprised. Don't give up like I did the first time. I'm
glad I returned otherwise, I'd be missing out on
some fantastic trails and sweet riding. Can't be
more specific about the trails themselves, sorry.
Haven't ridden there enough yet but I will. Seems to
me there is something for everyone although I am
far from an advanced rider.
