The trail is too easy, but is a good ride, its no where close to free riding. This is a good trail to learn to mountain bike.

I'm a local and used to ride this all the time in Stillwell. You cannot get lost in stillwell and will still give you a good workout. There are plenty technical aspects, rocks, roots, sand, jumps, birms, and drop outs. This track always went fast and still keeps it interesting. Good steep decent going down to the train trestle. You have to cross one street to get there. use the parking lot on Jericho Turnpike between Woodbury rd and Pathmark? (supermarket). There is usually a hotdog truck in the lot. Lot's of riders come out on the nice days, good environment.

This is an excellent trail. It's got something for everyone. There is as much paved road as you could ever want. There are also many trails. The trails are a mix from easy to difficult. There is almost nothing very steep. It's a real fun place to ride.

Bethpage: Been there 3X this week for DH FIREDRILLS which basically means cornering, sprinting, log hopping, drops and dirt jumping, sessioning & enjoying short steep DH sections and I gotta say this place is alot of fun. On the flipside, Bethpage is a great place to bring the family. Want XC mileage? this place has got that also but you would benefit from a guide. Dont have a guide? Check Stillwell Woods. 5 mile track and is hard to get lost. Higher BPM and more chase at Stillwell. Long Island surprisingly has a mix of a dozen or so Pro XC and Pro DH racers (must be the water) and 'its hard not to come across a hammerhead in the heart of the hunt.'

One of the best on long island, more like 20 mi of integrated singletrack for all skill levels that is very well kept. If it is thrills you seek go directly to the brickyard, as mentioned above, and hold on to your bars.

If you start from the bethpage park parking lot there is a trail on the right side of the lot. Find the brickyard for a technical singletrack adventure
