Description

This is a great, short trail near the Research Triangle Park. The parking area is along Louis Stephens Road, next to the volleyball courts.

This trail is fairly easy to navigate. A popular loop is to take all right turns.

Fast and flowy, this trail is great for beginners, or go faster and even advanced riders will enjoy. There are lots of spots to pop, slide, and generally have a good time on a bike!

Nice morning ride before class. Wish it was better marked as to how to get back to the volleyball courts. First time riding in this area.
