NOTES: Water crossings, but you can use sepping stones if you wish to keep your feet dry.

SURFACE: A maze of trails. Worn very smooth by constant mountain bike use.Mostly flat with many short but steep climbs. Very very easy to get lost. Many intersections look the same and the trail crosses over itself many times, as well as few creeks that snake through here. You can't tell one from the next. The park is not very large but you might not guess that from inside as it feels like trails are endless. Lots of room to run here. I can't imagine how many actual miles of trail there are. Lots of fun but very difficult to plan a route.
