This new trail (spring 2023) is at the old Camp Cromwell and is about 150 acres (my guess) and is part of the larger Chimney Rock trail system. There's a wide gravel loop around the whole property and lots of single track that weaves in-and-out of the gravel path traversing the entire property. The trails are mixed use: MTB, gravel, hiking, snow shoe, etc. Riding every trail including the gravel path is about 6 miles. There's some nice flowy trails and lots of beginner level trails and easy connection to the Vosseller Trail head. There are only a few technical spots with one little ravine crossing with a stream running through it. The single track is mostly clear of thorn bushes like we see elsewhere at Chimney Rock. There are lots of beginner trails a small amount of intermediate. there's also lots of small rock garden trails, but not chunky. A parking lot on Vosseller Ave entrance will eventually be open to the public.

      The new jump section is cool, but does not flow at all.

      Seems like clockwise is best. I haven't ridden it yet but planning to soon, and most of the clockwise- ridden reports show climb of 350ft and downhill of 375ft, so I'm planning to ride that way as well.

      Which way round is best? Clockwise or anticlockwise, cant tell on the map……
