Overview

The Copperhead Trail dips and twists through the wooded areas of Country Park with its berms and gullies that keep the mountain biking locals coming back for more. "The Zone" is a new place for expert mountain bikers and BMXers to test their skills on a downhill jump course.

Description

The trail can be ridden in either direction but counter-clockwise generally makes for the most DH fun and flow, going clockwise makes for some more techy climbing. There have been many jumps added, and a rock drop near the bottom of the first section of trail.

"The Zone" features a number of jumps, berms, rhythm and whoop sections sure to get the adrenaline flowing. Helmets are required in "The Zone" and rules are posted on the kiosk next to the course start point behind the Stoner-White Stadium scoreboard. Inexperienced riders are discouraged from entering "The Zone."
