Summary:
Fun, fast, rolling trail in a beautiful setting. With new loop (Spring '07), the trail is about 3.6 miles. It's not very challenging (I don't know about the expert loop), but it's a great ride. A lot of short trails get pretty boring if you're putting in multiple laps, but I love this one.

Check it out.

Summary:
Trail has been expanded. It is generally rideable a day or two after rains. The singletrak is tight and well designed. Not very technical. There is a toilet at the T/H but no water available. The park has a large grassy hiking area and a small parking lot. It can be crowded in fair weather. www.tarheeltrailblazers.com has done an excellent job of laying out this new area.

Summary:
This trail has a lot to offer for all skill levels, granted it would be considered tame for some extremely advanced riders, however they are adding a section to this trail that is going to take it up a notch. Mark Sullivan, the owner of Cycle Path in Cornelius, NC and Tarheel Trailblazers member, is the trail coordinator for this trail and he has indicated to me that they are working on a new section of this trail that will be awesome. Rumor has it there will be 6' drops, culverts to ride in, nice large log rolls, and big rocks to work with as well.

If you want to know more about the new section of this trail go by and see Mark at his shop. From a personal stand point on this trail, my wife and I love this trail for many reasons. First thing is it is only 10 mins from our house in Cornelius, second thing is that this trail offers so many variables. This trail offers all kinds of things from nice fast downhill sections, to decent log rolls, some cool drops and exposed roots, to a small rock garden area. For a beginner, which is the perfect label for my wife and I, this trail allows you to come out and be exposed to some scaled down obstacles that you can work your way through and get comfortable to on to prepare you for more technical trails.

In conclusion, my opinion is that this is a great all around trail, which now has 4 miles and they are working on more (Advanced) mileage currently, that you can always ride and have fun. Be safe - wear a helmet!!

Summary:
Pros: Very fast paced, has a few obstacles like rocks and stacks of logs. There's not a lot of traffic.
Cons: It's really short, but they are in the process of adding more trail onto it.
