Summary:
This trail is a lot of fun.. It will challenge riders at the intermediate skill level. Scales trail has a lot of quick up and down hill areas and is all single track trail. There are a lot of hidden turns so be on your toes. There is one jump that that i saw that is made of logs packed with clay and dirt. It is made very well and will send you over a good size ditch with the option to use a small bridge on the left. One thing that I would change is to label the trails. There are many options that will send you off the trail to the road in the city park to find your way to your car.. It cost two dollars a car to get in the park but well worth it. The park is really nice as well that has cabins you can rent or camp sites as well.

Summary:
Scales is still killer for 2007. Dirt roller coaster is a good description for this trail. Some sections are real narrow with trees very close together, sometimes in fast sections, so take some time to learn this trail before going balls out. I guess it could be a tad bit longer, but a cople of laps will help you dial in your line and give you a decent workout to boot. All and all a great trail for Southern IN.

Recommended Route:
clockwise starting by the first parking lot

Summary:
Heads up on the fees to enter the park. The half dollar to ride in went up to 2 bucks. Might as well pay the $2 and drive in and use the shower house at the campground after your done.
The trail is still first rate, and well maintained, maybe too well maintained. They had a great log stack in there, and someone must have thought it was too difficult so they cut it out. The trail has a great deal of technical challenge with lots of ups and downs. The trail is 100 percent singletrack, and stays rideable in wet weather. Check it out.
