This rating is primarily for the MTB trails only.

The last two times i came here for MTB, i did not have the best time on the trails. In my opinion, the trails are 50/50. 50% fun and 50% boring/endless climbs.
I love downhill MTB, and I m more than aware that you have to go up before you can go down? So there will be climbing to do.
The main problem i have with the trails here, is that the flow of the trails suck for the most part. I wish that they spent more time on the flow of the trails, or at least after all these years, go back and make improvements ( even if it would be putting in an obstacle to overcome on the side of the trail ).
Another problem i have with the trails are that they are not marked that well, the only main markers you may see are at the entrance and exit. I wish there was markers ( such as spray painted colors on the tree ) to indicate that you were heading in the right direction and what trail you are on.
I also think it should not cost to get a map of the trails, or there should be a billboard near the trails showing a basic outline of the trail.
Overall, my favorite MTB trail is Shermans Branch ( the parking, maps, and everything is free! )
