Fast, smooth, twisty "single-track" trail. Mostly downhill if ridden counter clockwise, but an easy ride in either direction.
The trail is mostly free from rocks or bumps, very smooth. Lots of banked turns allow you to carry some speed through the corners. However, some corners can get a bit loose and washed out. Overall, very well maintained.
Most fun trail in the park.
Easy for all levels.

      Quick flowy trail, good for practicing cornering at speed if you like. Unlike what the title may sound like, there are very few rocks on this trail. If you’re looking for a pretty easy trail, but a few rocks to test yourself, ride Blevins.

      Agree with previous comment. Pretty fun, good flow. Nothing really techy. Would be a good trail for a new biker or with a kid.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
