Summary:
Was a fun short trail with a bowl area that was good for jumping. Trail is poorly marked and badly in need of some maintenance. Some sections are pretty overgrown and it's easy to get lost. Trail is short though, so even if you do get lost it's not a big deal. Just keep going and you'll be back at the beginning in no time. Fun trail if you live close by, but my son and I wouldn't drive 1 hour to ride it again.

Graham Swamp in Flagler is still our favorite.

Summary:
This place is great when its not flooded with not much sugar sand and lots of hard packed areas. It has a lot of fun small climbs and drops along with log crossings jumps and a teter. Last time I went the trail was flooded and in pretty bad shape. I hope it recovers soon.

Summary:
This is the first time I rode this trail with my son and friends. We found the tree with the trail map, we tried to follow the yellow, easier trail but it crosses over the harder blue trails several places. We very quickly were lost as to what trail we were on. Lots of jumps and climbs, caught us off guard, but we enjoyed them. The trail marks, the small yellow arrows, are good some places, others where trails cross it's hard to tell where to go.The yellow trail is not very long, the blue ones are longer. When we were done we had loads of mud on our bikes to hose off. Over all a good site, just needs a local bike club to maintain it like Spruce Creeks.Needs a little work on the trail marks.The teeter totter was fun also.

Recommended Route:
Take the Yellow around the outside first ,then you will have an idea of how steep the drops and climbs are before you bust a move, or arm.

Spruce Creek is still the best I have been on so far.

Summary:
This is one of the more enjoyable trails around. Its alot like the Environmental Trails, maybe shorter and more intense. It is a well marked trail with directional arrows to keep people going one-way. A few steep drops and climbs that might give you pause. Its a great trail, props to the team the laid it out. Just need some more near Orlando.

Recommended Route:
When you enter tyhe park its your first parking lot on the left. You should be able to see a trail with a map nailed to a tree. The XC trail starts just NW of there. the XC trail exits at the other end of same parking lot near the Handicapped spots. Jump area is straight in from map.

Snowhill Rd.
