This bidirectional trail is the best to get started if you’re new to mountain biking and hands down the best way to bookend the start and/or finish of the whole Old Post Trail System. Roll through this pine section and expect fast, flat corners with small sections of rock & root challenges.

Access Info

The trail is open all the time but the gate to gain access to the main parking lot is only open from 9am-10pm.
