We have built a long boardwalk (174 Ft) that will eventully bypass the muddy areas on the back loop but we still need to make some trail additions and alterations before it functions as part of the trail as intended.  If you choose to use it now you will want to make a hard left hand turn at the end to put you back on the trail in the correct direction.

Also we built a smaller bridge to replace the cinder blocks that were in the ditch right before the boardwalk.  You can now approach that crossing at very high speed now BUT the bridge has a bit of a kick on the end and you will be in the air if you hit it fast.  Please enjoy and ride responsibly!  If you rather keep your wheels on the ground just slow down and you will gently roll over the bridge.

For the time being you can still use the original line to maximize the mileage but at some point we will be flipping the direction on the section of trail on the opposite side of the bridge and then reconnecting it back to some new trail before bringing it back together.  This will minimize the amount of trial we are cutting.  The end result will be a small loss of distance but a sustainable, responsibly built trail that will be able to remain open longer through out the year. 
Their may be opportunities in the future to add a little extra here or there.  When we first approached this project we were really hoping to be able to built at least a 4 mile trail.  We thought we might be able to hit 4.5 miles.  We are currently a little over 5.  I will do my best to keep it that way if I can make it work. 
There are also future plans in the Park to build Dog park, Amphitheater, park roads...    Their are constraints we have to work with in including how close we can get to property lines, suitable land, and future park plans.

Thanks Tom! Love the look of that new bridge too. That concrete was a bit of a butt pucker every time.

Great job, Tom!  It was a hot one out, for sure!!

Thanks from a park user. Unfortunately i am out for a couple of months will try it in August!!!

I led a ride like that a couple times. Was never a regularly scheduled thing though. It was fun, I'd be down for doing it again.

Beer temple after?

Great job on the bridge/boardwalks.  I will have to make it out that way soon to check it out.

The recent improvements are really awesome - massive thanks to all who pitched in.  Those bridges were no doubt a ton of work.   

This trail is a ton of fun.  It reminds me a bit of the Lake James wimba loops..

The new 3 mile section is a great addition and makes excellent use of the terrain. The climbs aren't steep and still provide a great reward on the downhill side.  The bridge with the lip/kick was well placed and handles a tough dip. The short Enchanted Forest loop might be a handlebar check for the 800mm+ but I liked weaving through the pines. This is a fun trail for any skill level. I haven't calibrated my wheel sensor lately but got just under 5 miles.
