Short but sweet 4.6-mile trail in Concord. Has some decent climbs, flowy sections, and rock features as well. Please be respectful when parking as there is a private home across from the trailhead. Brown Mill is an excellent trail to lap time after time and is suitable for most riders with avoidable features. Check trail status at https://tarheeltrailblazers.com/trails/brownmill/

      Great X/C trail system with lots of fun features including drops, rock rolls, table top/sender jumps and wall rides to name a few. It is a place where most any rider can ride and enjoy, plus progress if they are a lower level rider. Great on the trail builders & land managers with the way they steer the trail to fun sections & obstacles. Cannot wait to take my nephew on the trails!

      Brown Mill sheds water really well and it's typically among the first to reopen after rains.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
