Description

From the designer and builder of Wilkesbermo (see the Kerr Scott - IMBA Epic), the Zack's Fork Mountain Bike Trail is a taste of the same flowy goodness! Conveniently located in the heart of Lenoir with easy access to all the amenities of historic downtown - just a 15 minute bike ride away and less than 5 minutes from Highway 321.

Zack's Fork Mountain Bike Trail is also accessible from the extensive Caldwell County Pathways Greenway System. It is a perfect singletrack experience for beginners or a fast flow trail for the experienced rider. There is a large wooden map kiosk at the trailhead on the gravel path. Follow the brown signs from the ample parking lot at the Lenoir Rotary Soccer Complex on Zack's Fork Rd. to the gravel path for easy access.

Start at the soccer complex and climb first. First time on a mtb on trails, and I need to climb early to finish with a nice flowing downhill. 2.8mi — 2h 00m
