A professionally designed and built system of five stacked loops of one-way singletrack.
This route starts at Sheldon road and will chain the outbound half of each loop until you get to the West Branch Parking Lot, riding a quick loop of
Beach, and then riding the return halves of each loop. Most loops meet up by butting up against a two track across from another loop and you continue onto the next loop by directly crossing the two track. Once you understand that it makes navigating and linking them up much easier. Other than a small section of
The Pines there is no two track so if you are on one you probably made a wrong turn.
Outbound
The Pines: This section is pretty chill and relatively flat. There is an optional jump line, wooden features, and a rock garden. Go straight across the first two track crossing. Stay right but cross the second to track crossing to start on the outbound half of
Back Nine. This route shows the
Pines Jump Line Bypass, The jump line is considered Black Diamond.
Outbound
Back Nine: This section starts with an optional jump line. Mostly a climb with a few optional rock features along the side heading to the two track crossing for
Roller Coaster. This route shows the
Back Nine Jump Line Bypass. The jump line is considered Black Diamond.
Outbound
Roller Coaster: A pretty short section. Mostly continuing the climb up to
Bee-Line.
Outbound
Bee-Line: This is where the fun begins. Sections of fast flowing downhills with big banked turns. Some optional skinnies along the side of the trail. This trail connects into
Beach and
Grom Pump Track at the West Branch Parking lot where you can use the restroom, water fountain, or bike stand.
Beach: This is a fun beginner friendly loop with some optional wooden and rock features.
Return
Bee-Line: From the West Branch Parking lot take the
Beach climb again but go right at the
Beach Bee-Line fork. This section is mostly climbing up to the
Roller Coaster intersection with a few wood skinnies and rock features along the way.
Return
Roller Coaster: Another highlight of the park. This section of
Roller Coaster starts with the climb up to Mt Shelden. From there enjoy some of the more advanced technical features in the park, skinnier skinnies and steep rock rolls, all optional. The jump line here is in one of the fastest rolling sections of the park with big hip jumps along the sides so no jumps are required.
Another option is to take the
Short Cut from the top of Mt Shelden, which features a section of the original
Roller Coaster trail and cuts out the bulk of this loop, avoiding many steeper climbs and technical features.
Return
Back Nine: A favorite section to many, after crossing the intersection from
Roller Coaster fly into
Back Nine for a fast flowing descent with big banked turns and rollers that can be jumped as doubles.
Return
The Pines: A quick chill section with a few optional features. This takes you back to the start.
All of the trails were revamped by a professional trail builders in 2022.
