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
