SaveThis 42 acre parcel is packed with trails and features that will leave you saying, " Just one more run. " Start off on the orange blazed trail (Pedal Power) that starts on the right of the service road that enters the trail system. This trail will bring you up to the start of all the downhill trails as well as loop you back to the parking area.
All the trails have great flow with a constant offering of optional skinnies, rolls, drops and jumps. Most of the trails are rated intermediate, but novice riders can enjoy all the trails by skipping the harder features. This area can actually accommodate a mixed group of expert to novice riders as all of the hard features are optional.
Note from the Central CT NEMBA Chapter Report: The biggest news since last report is the completion and opening of Paulik Hill Bike Park in Tolland, CT. This was a cooperative venture with the Quiet Corner Chapter, spearheaded by Jon Petersen, CCT NEMBA board member. It’s a trail system with bike park features such as roll overs, hucks, and skinnies for different ability levels. It’s been very popular and is getting rave reviews. Thanks to the many of you who donated funds for this project.
