Cross Country Rider Summary:
The reviews on here say it isnt technical. Ha! you guys must just be riding on the raccoon rally race course (aka patterson/snowsnake/ridgerun) If you head over to the quaker side of the park you can find all kinds of great technical riding Recommended Route:
when you come into the quaker side, take a left and then your first right. You should go past a big maintenance building. the road is going to fork off, take the left. Drive up the hill about a 1/4 mile or so and then start watching for trail enterances (most of them arent marked if i remember right) all the trails off of that road are great, and if you know where your going they can take you all the way back to redhouse. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Holiday Valley.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Easy beginner terrain on Patterson trail, although climb from parking to patterson trail head my exhaust many beginners. The website ranked it as intermediate. That's the easiest intermediate trail I've ever ridden if that's the case. Recommend shuttling to top. Great 2.5 mile uphill ride if up for a workout (gave aerobic rating a 4 due to climb, without, it would rank at a 1 or 0). Great downhill for beginners or family Recommended Route:
shuttle to summit area and ride patterson down. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Holiday Valley area

Very fast trails. Be sure to ride DOWN Patterson and Bova. Downhill, killer switchbacks on Bova. Snowsnake is also very good. Recommended Route:
Springville Exit... Rt 219 until you see signs directing you to the park. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Holiday Valley

, from n.evans n.y. Summary:
my favoite way to ride the park is to start at the very bottom of patterson climb to snowsnake burn the legs on snowsnake till it merges back with patterson round the top and merge with ridgerun. and enjoy the decent back into patterson. yes not very technical but when your done you no you've just had about as much fun on two wheels as you could have without a motor. Recommended Route:
same as above Other recommended trails in the same area:
ellicottville area fot the good stuff

, from Randolph, NY Summary:
The Gravity Games held their downhill events on the other side of this hill this year (that would be on the road coming into the park- killer climb for you rodies)
For the most part it's all fireroads and not much up and down - just down or just up - with the exception of Snowsnake. The only trail I will ride there anymore. I understand a guy killed himself on this trail a few years ago- going to fast in a competion without scouting the trail - couldn't make the turn. I just use this trail to build endurance - the climb back up is long and steady.
Bova Ski Hill is steap with lots of switchbacks (only singletrack, but through a mowed field)but it's short and the trail to get there is long and uneventful. Better riding can be found at Holiday Valley Ski Resort 10-15 min. north on Route 219 for FREE. Recommended Route:
down Snowsnake or Bova Ski Hill Other recommended trails in the same area:
Holiday Valley: It's FREE and you can ride on (down) the ski slope or in the woods on top. If you don't want a killer climb drive up Mutton Hollow (off Route 219 in Great Valley). After passing the 'seasonal limited use' sign take the first right on McCarty Hill Road (the gate should be open). There's some good singletrack off that road and places to pull off. You can get a map of all the trails at many of the bussinesses in Ellicotville. I ride once or twice a week on this trail system.
