Summary:
Don't let the last two messages detour your riding this hidden jewell. It's got everything in a short range, climb, singletrack, testers (not the rock - Hamilton Creek) etc .. Try it you might like it as a option ride to have something different on the east side of town.
I don't know what garbage they are talking about, but the cliffs have junk there sometimes (pick it up)

Recommended Route:
Start at the playground, the apartment office has a map too! It was very helpful.

Summary:
After reading the promising reviews of this trail, me and my brother could not help but to explore. I can not speak enough for garbage rock. The beautiful view of the lake explained why it was such a popular hangout for the local rednex. Luckily some of the discarded fishing wire helped me fix my broken toe clip. I wanted to keep exploring, but I think my brother's dog got tangled up in one of those plastic things that hold the six packs together. We rode away and vowed not to let another person ride this trail unprepared. I give this trail one tire because garbage rock helped me fix my bike.

Summary:
This is the trail that time forgot, but the warm Budweiser slurpin lake rats didn't. It could have potential with a month overhaul. The highlight of this trail is "Garbage Rock", a twenty foot outcropping looking over the lake which was strewn with cheap beer cans and graffitti. The previous reviews rated this a 5.0? No offense to my knobby brethren but they must have submited long ago. Right now this trail is not worthy of the tire. My brotha came in from out of town for a ride, and after I took him to this "5 star" trail, he started talking about becoming a "roady" after 20 minutes, I had to smack him. I give it a four for just barely existing.

Recommended Route:
Don't go here!

Summary:
Im glad i found this trail, its close to home and i had no idea it was here. I went to the apartment office the day before and yes they do have maps available. Its a short run down to the first fork in the trail, go to the left here and work your way down to the old paved road, a right turn takes you just a short distance right to the waters edge. Turn left and its an easy peddle ot the opposite end of this paved road, take a left turn to go around the cove. This is where there is a big problem. A massive amount of trees are now blocking your way around the cove, and there's no other way around. you will have to turn left and head up the hill to the back side of the lakes apartments, i really wanted to take the long way on this trail, as on the map it looks like a good distance and would bring you out at lincoya bay apartments. Im going to make this my daily trail ride, hope to see some of you out enjoying this trail. I would say this is a fairly easy trail and great for someone just starting to get there legs, it does have some of everything, just watch out for all the roots in one section, take your time and wear your helmet.

Recommended Route:
Go in at the playground.

I rode Hamilton Creek last year once, its real tough if this is your first time on a mountain bike, but fun too.

Summary:
I liked this trail, it was short about 2 miles. I think there are off shoots I didn't take, but it was fun and did three laps, once backwards, boy that hill coming up to the playground kinda kicked me on the third lap. If your not into hills start at the playground and go in there. The hill going down is a lot more fun. By the third lap I was really having fun on the trail.
OK, I still would like to see the city of nashville have a MTB club that is active. So email me if I am just missing out. I just moved here. I don't see any evidence of a MTB club.

Recommended Route:
just like they main note said
