The park has been in great condition all summer and fall. There is also a new VERY steep down hill section that has been added. To get the full effect of the trail park at the mountain bike parking lot on the left when you enter the park. From there ride the trail counter clockwise and take the loop at the top of the hill above the parking lot and go back the way you came. Watch out for the Roller Coaster section, It's very fast.

I rode the main trail twice yesterday (6-5-06) and most of the little trail extensions/cut offs are not passable. A few places on the mail trail are very washed out and grown up.

Trail Description
|
|
This trail was created for mountain biking, but is open to hikers. The start of the trail is a short steep section with a couple of switch backs. The trail splits at the top, both ways are about the same distance and they come back together shortly. The trail the follows the ridge until it gets to a radio tower, then starts back down toward the creek. here it splits again. you can either choose downhill (better for hikers) or Roller Coaster(great for bikers). At the bottom, you follow the creek. this is the highlight of the trail. You follow the creek all the way back close to the parking lot. This is the most senic part. The park has restrooms. The trailhead is on the left as you enter the park.
