This is the legacy race route trails that gave this park the start to MTB in the 90s. The first 3 are affectionately known as 001, Sykes, & Ruthie's. This leads you to either the New East Trails or if you follow the crushed rock road to the East Parking Lot, you can access the remainder of the legacy Race Route trails.
