This is a good sampling of the trails in the Winant Part area.

Overall the riding in this area is difficult, featuring punchy climbs, difficult rock sections, and there are many intersections so route-finding can be difficult if you're here for the first time.

The trail starts by climbing up to the scenic overlook before heading out towards the backwoods loop; typical New England riding. Next up is the best downhill trail in the area, Side Swipe. This trail is very rocky, but extremely fun when you work up to riding it at speed. Next we ride up the gravel hill to the watertower, before riding down what is the only fast/straight/smooth downhill in the park, Blue/Yellow. Continuing straight down White Trail brings the rocks before popping out on Fisk. From there I prefer taking the short ride on the road back to the start over climbing White.
