Summary:
I was not much on the trail.Intersecting trails all over.Very little signage.I can understand that it is hard to keep sings up as I help out on trails.But most places you can figure out where to go with a little thinking.I ran into two other riders out there that were as confused as me.There are way to many intersections.Some go to the houses in the area others just dead end.With some work it could be made into a ok trail but as it sits now I made my last ride there.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sansom Park,Gateway Park.

Summary:
this is an awesome cross country trail that you can actually pick up at rt. 377 just north of roanoke and ride 5 miles cross country until you hit the main parking area near the new texan gaylord hotel and resort. the variety on this trail is amazing. i've moved and have not ridden there for years, but i still long for it. i like to use a hardtail to get up some pretty steep stuff. you need to be in good shape and bring along plenty of water. the searing heat makes it harder... lots of cactus too so bring a good pair of tweezers, just in case! i've encountered longhorns and cottonmouths so be alert. i've also seen some road runners...

Recommended Route:
park at rt. 377 just north of roanoke and ride all the way to the end at the grapevine lake picnic areas.

Summary:
This is a good little park to rode when you need to get away from northshore and it's millions of riders(If you live close by). The trail has about a thousand forks in it letting you create an awesome loop, or just keep riding without a stop. The terrain is mostly easy with a few slight up hills with roots that are really hard to keep speed over. Occasionally you will a really big dip (you know, where there is a big drop and then a monster uphill:) What makes this a 3-rating is that it is conveniant being right next to my house. Otherwise, because of it's limited trails, I'd give it a 2-rating.

Recommended Route:
Doesn't matter, you would still end up at the same place anyway.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
If you are more that 5-10 minutes away, don't waste your time here, go to northshore. Also, Knob Hills SUCKS. If you live within a 10 minute or less(and thats pudhing it) Ride the first 2 miles or son until it gets out of the woods. The other 4 miles is like riding on a cement side walk.
