Description: This is a two mile clockwise loop for bikes counter clock wise for foot traffic that winds around 25 acres of the park. It's fairly twisty and has numerous off camber ups and downs. The lap ends with two sustained climbs back to the trailhead. The trail is suitable for all skill levels, it's not a technical trail but can be an aerobic challenge.

Facilities include a beautiful pavilion complex with picnic table land BBQ grills as well as restrooms. There is also the first phase of concrete trails which totals approx. 1.25 miles. Several years ago an additional Phase two of concrete tails and an overlook on the north side of the park were added. Combined, the concrete trail now totals about two miles which makes for some great riding in addition to the DORBA trail.

At present, work days are on an as needed basis. If you would like to be a "friend of the trail" or DORBA "super dude" please feel free to contact the trail steward.
