Weekend Warrior Summary:
After a nice descent on the jeep trail you being a looong slow ascent which continues for over half of the 6 mile loop. Turns out you are riding up a ridge beside a gully which contains the second half of the loop. Once splitting off there's some nice fun descents, at least they would be if not for the downed trees all over (Well over a dozen, many of which require you to walk around them into the woods to get past). We could also tell it'd been a while since anyone had ridden the trail due to the dozens of spider webs we took in the face.
If I were closer I'd get involved in helping maintain this park's trails and working to build some more, as this park has TONS of potential due to its incredible terrain and gorgeous gulches.

Weekend Warrior Summary:
UPDATE. Trail is cleared of big stuff. Needs riding. The (small) creek crossing is a little hairy right now. A tree has blocked the shallower fording area. If you ride straight thru you'll get your hubs under.
All double track, but grown over in places. Decent climb going in. Little climb after you cross the creek. RIDE IT!
If it were 10 miles long, I'd rate it a 5. Recommended Route:
Park at Newton Ford Picnic Area. Go back across Cane Creek bridge. Drop in to the left. Stay on double track. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Get on the singletrack for the 13 mile Upper Loop!

, from Chattanooga Summary:
CR is a good work out, not technical but good for cardio. Agree with other reviewer that it needs to be ridden more to keep the grass beat down. Watch out for hidden logs under the grass, and there are several trees across the trail where you have to dismount to go under.
Over all good trail for anyone. i paln to go back and ride it again soon.

, from Nashville Summary:
Nice trail. Needs to be rode more often to keep the grass and brush on the trail beat down. Has some trees down and needs some limbs and weeds trimmed, but is passable. Be prepared for tick heaven. This is not a technical track but is good for endurance building, especially the first big hill climb. Recommended Route:
See Fall Creek Falls park website

, from Woodbury, TN Summary:
I just rode CR for the first time Thursday. The climb up is longer than anything on the Upper Loop and makes fun-and-not-too-scary DH run on the way out. So now I'm riding it for the climb and clearing out the trees/tree litter. Scott and I have been really working on the Upper Loop and NOBODY has picked up a stick on CR for sometime. By tomorrow it will be much more rideable. Beware ticks and chiggers and bears! Recommended Route:
Chinquapin now has it's own little parking area just South of 284/Cane Creek. I'd still park at the Newton Ford Picnic Area and ride out on the Upper Loop trail, then stay on the double-track after crossing the wooden bridge. That'll take you up Chinquapin Ridge. Other recommended trails in the same area:
13-miles singletrack connects to this trail--the Upper Loop/Overnight Trail. Piney Creek is closed for tornado damage.
