Pretty fun trail for the local area. You can take the kids on it, or rail it faster and hit all the jumps. It has a log ride in one area if you jump up on it.

This is my favorite trail in Manhattan, however it's been shut down most of the year because of all the flooding. No that all the water has receded the Manhattan parks department has been extremely slow in clearing the trail. In the first 1/5th of the trail three trees are down and then the brush has made it unrideable past that point. Just a little update in case you plan on riding this (usually) great trail!

After trying to ride it yesterday, I went out today with my chainsaw. I got everything cleared except 2 spots on the ‘loop’ part (prior to it turning into an out and back about mile 2). The two spots are on the river side of the loop, if you ride it ccw, like I usually do it’s clear until you head back. I’m planning on getting those two spots later this week and checking out the ‘out and back’ section of trail as well. I don’t do Facebook, so if someone sees this, please put it out on there.

consists of fast flowy up and downs. decent jumps to mess around on. has a little bit for everyone i would suppose.
more maintained by locals instead of any of the shops.
