Summary:
I think I said it all above, the trails are multi-use with horses and hikers, (look out for young kids in the summer from the day camp at hidden pond.) The trails aren't too technical but can be alot of fun for beginner to intermediate riders. It also makes a decent training ride for experts. I would give it an extra star and a half for beginners.

Recommended Route:
The trails at hidden pond themselves are pretty week, but there are some decent trails nearby, if you go to the end of the main roads and make a right by the tennis courts and pass through the picnic area, head into the woods and try to find the trail. It can get pretty tight due to overgrown vegetation, but it's not to bad, maybe 4 miles point to point. Also, if you follow the trails that start just past the pools all the way to the top of the hill (decent climb) and then follow further back towards motor parkway, you should cross the street and find the trailhead near the crest of the hill. That will put you at the top of a pretty good grass, sand, and rocks that you can go maybe 45 mph on if you push it, go down the hill, part way down, there are two seperate trailheads with decent trails, if you want to follow the greenbelt trail(the trail i mentioned before) go to the end and make a left onto the road, maybe a quarter mile down the road (i don't wuite remember) and find the trailhead, it should be marked by two wood posts, some more decent, but overgrown in summer trails. All of the riding except the downhill, is singletrack.
