Weekend Warrior Summary:
I grew up in Easton right down the road from Borderland and still live close by (Boston). I've been riding this park for over 10 years, and there's definitely something for everyone. Bob's Trail can be a little confusing at times in the fall, since the fallen leaves mask the trail in places. It can be excessively muddy after a rain, but that's half the fun! The trails closer to the main roads can sometimes be crowded, but once you get to the rear trails you'll usually find yourself alone. Be careful on the Pond Walk! There are always lots of people walking and families biking. Keep your speed low so you dont turn a corner into a group.
Also, don't go in the ponds. They don't call it Leach Pond for nothing, take it from me... Recommended Route:
Bob's Trail, then along the Pond Walk to Northwest Trail. Turn right at the NEMBA Trail, then right on Ridge trail. Left on Quarry Loop trail, stop and take a rest at the quarry. Take a left and continue on Ridge Trail. Bear left and go around Morse Loop and continue on to Friends Trail. Left on Ridge Trail and then hop on the Upper Loop of Granite Hills and down the Lower Loop back to the Pond walk and out. That ride will keep you busy for several hours and leave you exhausted!

Cross Country Rider Summary:
What a great place for local mtn bikers. Being only 4.4 miles from it and 15 years old i like to bike there and ride the trails Some very technical and rocky trails but also some easier single track and fun fire roads. I just rode granite hills trail gor the first time to day and i must say my bike took a beating from it extremely rocky and tough on the tires, if you can ride this trail w/o one fallin or once getting off and walkin ur bike then you are a damn good rider and should be riden in the NORBA events. Recommended Route:
Mtn street gates on the fire trails until u find a trail that u like.

I heard good things about this place, but when I got out there I couldnt find mjuch terain to ride. It was really rocky and the trails were wide from overriding. Foxboro state forest 20 min down the road is twice the riding and 10 times the fun.

, from easton Summary:
I grew up here, my friends and I loved it so much we named our band after the place (yes Woodsy, I played drums in that funk band named after the park twelve years ago in college (ahhh how time flies)) we used to go there late at night and play music in my friend's van, hook up with young ladies, and drink alcohol, now , in my 30's, I get muddy and hurt there every time I go.
I started mtn biking here with my hardtail Giant in 92 and it's been my home since, it get's smaller by the day however, and there aren't any climbs (other than granite hills trail which you have to almost walk unless you are Hans Rey) but the tech is awesome, some great drops, good scenery, sometimes you can even stumble across a civil war re-enactment or a dog show or crash a wedding going on ("where is the bar?? YES, I was invited!!"). the castle and the history of the place rocks.
Borderland creedo:"If you are bleeding from somewhere you had a good ride"
Rock On! Recommended Route:
Start at my house on center st. go through the Easton state forest via Militia park, cut across Bay rd to the newly cut single track at the entrance, have fun! Other recommended trails in the same area:
Wompy, F Gilbert Hills, Vietnam
