The Northwest section is the longest section in Eagle Park. Despite the map's information, from Northwest to Southeast is downhill and is the proper direction to ride the trail. The trail is cut into a steep slope above marsh and ponds. It is generally downhill from the West end and has plenty of up and down. Towards the middle of the trail, there is a berm and table top. The section South of the Tenderfoot junction was an Eagle Project by Ian Hoffman. The trail continues to cut up and down the side hill with a fun rock berm and a rock garden. The end drops in to connect back to Tenderfoot right near the junction with Bugler. The bench cuts are on the narrower side. Because the trail does go along a steep slope, remember to fall uphill.

Access Info

There's an embankment at the West end of Eagle Park that connects the park to the Nature Park. Right as the embankment starts dropping into Eagle Park, turn off to the right and you'll see the trail right along the fenceline. You can also access the second half of the trail on Midroad via Midroad Connector or Tenderfoot.
