“A wide fire road loop - don't forget to ride the little terrain park at the end!”
— Johnny YipElectric Mountain Bikes Allowed
Features Views
ADA Accessible ADA parking is available in the parking lot, but access might be a bit tricky to the trail as the lop from the road drops off pretty steeply on the far side from the parking lot.
Overview
Easily accessible from the highway, this park offers some easy riding on dirt road with some hilly sections. Great for doing laps.
Description
This loop is mostly wide fire road with a few short sections of steep hill. Because it is so close to the neighbourhood it's easy to drop by early in the morning before work or in the evening to run some laps. The riding is varied from narrow singletrack with switchback to wide hilly sections. Some sections do have loose rocks so watch out.
The highlight of the route is the terrain park at the far end. Not steep enough to catch big air but you can definitely do jumps and tricks on it.
Most of the route is exposed so don't forget to pack some water on a hot day. Watch out for hikers.

Great workout/routine trail. Mostly dual track roads with three fun singletrack portions.

Fun trail. Definitely coming back again but I'm gonna have to cut off the backside loop. Not quite ready for that step section.

Some nice wooded riding, but mostly exposed. Can't ride too fast due to hikers and horses.
Need to return early morning.

Everything is open. Then again, it's due to rain I. The next 2 hours. Great ride.

Super fun ride for rookies like myself. A lot of different trails you can go on and test out.

Some parts are currently muddy, some parts of the trail are broken in the middle (too dry) and difficult to ride

The view from the top is amazing. Great parking free maps at the trailhead. Watch out for road bikes if on the road.
