Summary:
This trail has alot of diffent options in a small area. My wife and I did 3 laps trying to hit most of the options. The trails are very well maintained with nice trial features. Nothing too difficult to ride but enough for a pre holiday dinner workout.

Summary:
This trail has a lot to offer. It has some new trails that people from a few years ago aren't aware of. No major ups and downs, but enough to be a challenge, fun and interesting. There is everything from twisty hard-pack singletrack to gravel textured hills and log piles. There is sand in places, but it adds to the diversity. A few nice 2-3 foot drops and plenty of technical areas. The people who were negative most likely did not do all the black trails. No signs of civilization in there either, pristine forest. OK you tough guys, go back and do the new black trail "locomotive Breath" before you diss this place. After you tumble down a ravine into some poison ivy you won't be so tough!

Summary:
A good trail for what Long Island has to offer. A combination of small ups and downs with a few fun sections that includes chutes/ravines, a few little drops with railroad ties and some tight twisty single track in the snakepit. It takes around 30 min to do lap so it's good if your time is limited. The trail is one way so you don't run into people but it can get a bit crowded on the weekends. Best to go early.

Recommended Route:
It only one way. Park in the parking lot and follow the fire road untill you see the Big Entrance sign.

Summary:
Has anyone who reviewed this trail tried any trails off of LI? What do you think of them? Impoissibe? This is definetly not an advanced trail. I can possibly see the aerobic advantages here if you cook. Get off LI and ride some real MTB trails!

Recommended Route:
Nothing on LI!

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Anything off LI!
