      Like math Up Trail is boring but necessary. It is the way to access all the trails that feed from Mt. Vets including Doodle Bob, 100 Proof and Fine Dining. THIS TRAIL IS UPHILL ONLY! Please respect this for safety's sake. This is the...

      Trust us, we would have LOVED to call this trail something different but the name was so accurate it stuck......like Kentucky mud. This trail just loves to stay muddy all year round and thus keep the trail stewards pissed off all year...

      Sloppy Flow is aptly named with big berms, big smiles, and always a touch of mud (hey, we're working on it). This trail will take you to the back of the park which we like to call Mt. Vets...or as much of a mount as you can get round...

      Some would call Veterans Park a rainforest but we decided to be a bit more honest and call it what it is, a swamp. But who says you can't have fun in a swamp (besides 95% of the population)? WE DO! Rather than tame this wild beast, we...
