went with a friend, lots of climbing. went through north trial twice, and second time went much faster after learning trail. not bad and I would think it is intermediate skill level.

Really fun trail. I am relatively new at this so can't tell you how it measures up to other trails. But this trail has plenty of hills to gain speed and have fun with (bad thing is going back up them). Not many jumps or anything though

The trails are sweet. Good for beginners and experts. Well marked and a variety of types of trails to choose from.

Butch the park ranger has done a wonderful job with these trails. One of the best trails within 2 hours drive from Columbus
