Summary:
Country Park Mt. bike trail located off Battleground Ave / Pisga Church Rd. in Greensboro, NC right next to "safety town" is a trail that offers a lot of fun. Being fairly new to biking, I find that it is as challenging as I need it to be, or more. It has fast sections, with somewhat tight turns, plenty of fairly steep up hill runs, and average technical challenges along the way. Logs, roots, drop offs, small jumps, loose gravel, and a few bridge crossings keep you on your toes.
The trail is almost 6 miles of single track, recently lengthened from about 4.5 or so. It winds through some pretty woods, and some of the historic Battleground area. Some of the newer sections may be hard to follow until you become more familiar. Also located in the same parking area is the "greenway" paved trail which will take you to Birmil Park, 5 miles away...which offers 3 or so different Mt. bike trails...about 10 miles worth from what I recall. So, if you're up for a long day of riding, you can park in one spot and ride all day long, on a bunch of different routes. If you're up for lots of air time, the "free ride" section is also available to challenge your jumping skills. (I haven't tried it)

Recommended Route:
From the parking lot "safety town" fence line entrance the trail splits left or right....I personally go right and follow the route. The newly added sections may not be as visible, but the main trail is easy to follow.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Greenway
Birmil Park
Free - ride section of Country Park
Reedy Fork Trail (right next to lake Brandt spill way on Lake Brandt Road)

Summary:
Wish I had access to a trail like this from my back yard. Lots of fun for the intermediate/advanced rider, good place to learn for the beginner. You may get disoriented, but you'll never be far from a paved road if you do. Just stay on the trail and you'll find your way out soon. A few technical areas, including a short, steep drop to a narrow bridge, but not very technical otherwise. Some twisty areas and plenty of opportunities to get a little speed up.
