Weekend Warrior Summary:
Truly one of the most fun XC trails I have ridden. It has little to no elevation, but it has tons of quick ups and downs (5 mile bmx track) The entire trail takes about 35 minutes to ride once you learn it. It has a few berms, a fun little jumpy section called "the bowl", a few small climbs (20-30' long slight increase), and few steeper (10' tall climbs), some fun very large logs to cross and a very nicely setup table top.
Everyone is friendly out there, and as everyone mentioned, look out for critters. There is a nice bike wash just before the parking lot as well.
If you go when it's warm, the mosquitoes can be devastating. You will inhale a ton of them, and if you stop, you will get mobbed.
I wouldn't travel to ride this trail, but every time I am in town I will make time, or go out of my way to ride it.
Recommended Route:
The red trail is friendly enough for anyone who has been on a bike a bit.
I would take the red trail. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Baton Rouge really only has this one trail. Hooper road is close, but I consider them the same trail system.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Great trail within the city limits of Baton Rouge! Being in Baton Rouge you'd probably think that this trail would be flat as the rest of our elevation deprived state. BUT NO! this baby has got ups and downs, berms and jumps, drops, climbs. There isn't a lot but its got it. I think the land the trail sits on was carved out by the river so the trail winds through old water channels that give it the small amount of elevation change it has. Trail is about 4.5 miles long without the connection trail which brings you to the hooper trail system which is quite boring compared to comite. Recommended Route:
Ride the whole trail, don't take the old faded shortcuts, stay on the beaten path. It will take a couple rides to get used to where to go but just follow the red or blue arrows painted on the trees. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Hooper - Right next to comite but not as fun, take the connection trail to hooper for a good long xc ride.
The Beast in St. Francisville - (45min drive from baton rouge) Nice trail system with more elevation than comite, but some parts of the are just really difficult and non-flowy.
Norco - (1hr)
Lake Kincaid in Alexandria - (2 hours?)
Clear Springs in the Homochitta National Forest - (1h45min) Great trail system, tons of elevation, big climbs, big descents.
Mt. Zion-Brookhaven, MS - (1hr45min) My Favorite trial within descent driving distance of Baton Rouge. Berms, wooden structures, jumps, good elevation.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
This is a great trail with lots of little hills, twists and turns. A real jewel of the nile. Watchout for snakes basking in the sun on the mogels. If it gets dark lightening bugs will lead you down the correct pathway out. Hopefully. Or you and the mosquitos will be spending the night snuggled up in the bowl.

Downhiller Summary:
This trail offers a little something for everyone. It's what got me back into riding. Once you can ride both trails via the connection trail, you will not regret it! My advice is to ride it as much as possible to get to know them. BREC and BRAMBA have done a great job of making the most out of the land available. The only downside to riding here is all the damn rain. Bridges, cliffs, and entire sections of trail have disappeared after a single thunderstorm! If you have the chance you should ride it, besides it's free.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Just rode the Comite side of the trail Saturday Morning. It was teriffic. I have never riden there before but will be back soon.
Well kept and was alot of fun even for a novice as I am to trails such as that.
I did get turned around and kept heading back to the trail head. I would like to ride it with someone more familer with it so if there are any orginized rides or someone looking for a riding partner...I would love to meet up there.
