      I rode this trail system yesterday. It's a great short trail system with 2 short loops. The longer loop didn't quite register at 2 miles and the shorter loop was about .6 miles. I rode the lower loop twice and upper once for total of 3.76 miles. They have directions but it's not very crowded. The lower loop was definitely more fun going counter clockwise. There are some decent climbs here so you can get a good workout and train here. Parking is good, but the park is a bit isolated.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
