Swan Song is a trail that was designed and built to be bicycle specific flowy fun Swan Song contains a few jumps, plenty of pumps, and super sweet berms in the mix. These features are all intermediate in nature with no gap jumps present and one drop which has an alternate line available. Although designed for mountain biking, it is open to hiking and trail runners too.
Swan Song ties directly into Kingfisher and can be ridden as a "lollypop lap" when accessed from the northern most part of the Kingfisher trail. Long term plans are to have a parking lot on Doggett road, but currently parking is at the Blue Heron trail head. (Cross Yanceyville road onto the Kingfisher trail which will take you up to Swan Song.)
You will want to ride the trail as shown on the map utilizing Kingfisher which skirts along the shore line of beautiful Lake Townsend and takes you to hillside hardwood forest of Swan Song. Swan Song is multidirectional but rides best heading south.
Access Info
Current Parking lot is: 4953 Yanceyville Rd, Browns Summit, NC 27214
