Good to hear! I never had a chance to check it out when I lived in Waxhaw for a few months, but I'm still not a very far drive.
How long is a single lap? Trail page doesn't say
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) There isnt a set "lap"
The trails are broken down into multiple mini loops and connector trails...
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) My post work ride started in the campground but I rode pretty much everything once and some things twice... here goes...
Starting in the Day Use Area (off of Harkey Rd,)
-Ride Purple trail to Campround
-continue to intersection with Campground Red trail and take a right/left to complete Red loop (decent climbs/descents either direction)
-Enter back onto the Purple and continue until intersection with Campground Blue, take a right.
-Take right or left on Green trail, doesnt matter makes one big loop.
-Enter back onto Blue Trail and go right onto Purple Trail towards the Day Use Area.
-Go across the park entrance road onto the Day Use Red Trail.
-Take the left entrance to the Day Use Red Trail.
-Ride the entire Day Use Red Trail until the intersection of the Day Use Orange is on you right (not left).
-Take right onto Day Use Orange and ride until intersection of Day Use Red (you passed this earlier)
-Ride Day use Red until intersection with Day Use Blue Trail and take a right onto Day Use Blue Trail.
-Take a right at intersection with Day Use Red Trail and ride the short section you already rode once.
-Finish out on Day Use Red back to parking lot.
This is around 13-14 miles or so.
If you want to skip the Day Use Orange/Blue option for about 3/4 of a mile less.
All trails are multi-directional. Yearly entrance passes are available as well... Worth it if you live nearby.
