I've been riding at trumbull for years and every year it seems to get better and more technical if you follow the ridge by rt25 all the way down there is some good single track down hill shoots

I found that If you continue downstream on the white trail, you will cross an orange colored river and the trail continues for about another mile and a half until you come to a playground. If you turn around you can take a small single-track trail up the side of a hill on the left. Keep following this up and down, up and down, and you might come to a place where there is a sign saying "Trumbull Freeriders". There is a huge wood ramp on the right hand side of the trail. Up the hill on the left there are a bunch of really nice drops and jumps. My friend and I stayed here for a while and then followed the Yellow trail which is very rocky and appeared to follow a ridgeline. We came out at the top of a gorge. We had to carefully make our way down the side (which is a treacherous trail) and then we discovered that we had come to the field where we started at. This forest is so confusing. We were always lost. Everything doesn't seem to make sense because you think you are going one way bu

This place was really awsome. I have only been there for 3 hours so far but from what I rode on, it was insanely fun. There seem to be miles of single track that run along two rivers, with a lot of little open spaces in the forest with lots of rock jumps and ledges. Don't go when it is wet because the rocks get slippery. Intermediate to advanced terrain. Get on the main "rail trail" and go past a fork that leads up a hill, and look for a path that leads across a river to the lower part of the hill. This is how I got into the single track areas.

These trails are insane. You have everything from small drops to medium drops, big rollers, and everything in between. It is probably more of a place for freeride on somewhat of an XC bike with large suspension because of all the climbing you have to do. I rode a specialized Big Hit so it was tough but, none the less a load of fun.

there is no 'mile-up-hill.' you are parking at the other end of the ol' railroad trax. its flater than kansas and straight as an arrow unless you venture off of the 'tracks.' but off of the tracks you will find varying degrees to suit anyones ability. this is my local ride..........peace

This trail starts with a mile up hill, but don't be discouraged, there are some nasty downhill single track trails for the more advanced riders
