Summary:
Hagar Park has changed a lot since I first started riding it back in high school. The waste water treatment plant is where most of the trailheads used to be and the "parking" for Hagar Park is essentially a dirt pull off from rt. 140 . The other downside is that it is a spectacularly small parcel of land and probably isn't worth any more than a twenty minute drive. However, if you live in the area (or are just bored) Hagar offers GREAT technical climbs around the streambeds (from winter runoff) and a lot of single track good for mucking about and practice. There is an old BSA lean-to at the top of the hill where you can have lunch and if you continue along the old fire road at the "summit", you'll come to an area with absolutely amazing views of Wachusett Mountain.

Recommended Route:
There aren't recognized trails to speak of, and there isn't enough acreage to get lost. Just follow the fall lines to the summit, or muck about in the creeks.
