Summary:
Some nice short sections of trail. No great length however. Hit the trails when they are still damp for some challenging slippy rock riding.

I find it fits in nicely with a loop - through the intervale then through ethan allan park, play around in the trails here, then take bike path back into town hitting oakledge park trails for some drops

There are some very difficult timber sections (6 foot high skinnys etc) buried in here but they were rapidly falling into disrepair and should be walked first. Most of the ones I found took my weight but not sure how much longer will last.

Recommended Route:
follow the main trails in behingd the high school and explore. you can't get very far without ending up back out at the start or on the bike path

Other recommended trails in the same area:
oakledge, camp johnson

Summary:
most of the drops are to flat no skill landings. it ok if you live in the area to get some quick pedaling in, but dont drive here expecting something good. trail length adds up to 2 miles maybe 3.5 at the most.

Recommended Route:
laps around the place.. do every line in both directions...then go somewhere else..

Summary:
This is paobably the most kick ass trail in the area. Lots of entrences. I'm not exactly the best rider in the world, but these trails have improved my riding skill. Lots 'o rocks and routs and dips and even some drops (there are suposedly a few huge assed drops in there, but i can't find them). Only saw one bad accident there, though, and that was with my friend manno. he didn't get hurt, but his bike went flying into a tree cogs first. totally destroyed his front gears.

Recommended Route:
Everywhere, except for where you piss people off (icovin, i really don't get your whole "stay on the main trail!" logic). Just don't go past that sign on the south west corner that says "PRIVATE PROPERTY". It's fun out there, given, but it's not worth the lecture that they give you. check out the ropes course outside of E-building if you want to work on your balance. It's also a great way to get to the beach if you don't want to go on the road.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Eathen Allan Park (AKA Eathan Allan Tower), Cutback 51, UVM and the Urban Assult Run, and pretty much everything else you can ride.

Summary:
This trail is def one of the best in burlington in terms of drops and rugged terrain. there's a part where theres an almost vertical chute down a 25-35 foot hill that you FLY down...insane. lots of huge ass drops: 12 footers, 10 footers are hard to find but theyre there. i love this trail and am glad thats its still mostly natural and doesnt have too much of that east coast notrth shore bullsh*t with planks and all that crap...it pollutes areas scenic integrities and takes up valuable riding space.

Recommended Route:
same as in description: go up sandy trail to right off bike path and straight across the field until you hit the trail behind some peoples house. sick ass trick son.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
your mom.

Summary:
The trails behind the BHS, The Arms Grant Property, do allow bikes but bikes are only allowed on the main trails. Biking off the main trail will jeopardize the future usage. Please also note that bikes are not allowed on the abutting property of Rock Point. Please remain on cross country trail only. A management plan has been completed for the area. There are a number of rare and state threatened species within the park. I hope that the park will not have to be closed to Bikers due to a few that can not stay on the main trail. For further information contact the City of Burlington, Department of Parks and Recreation at 802-864-0123.
