• Most technical:
The trail from the gate to where you have to get off and walk to Gorman
Falls. Parts of it are verrrrrry rocky. If you can ride it, you're good!
Try not to fall into the cactus! This trail also has some really fun
stuff on it, like the V-Tree, where you get to ride through the middle
of a big oak tree.
• Most beginner-friendly: The lower River Trail that
goes along the river from the park headquarters to the bottom of the
upper River Trail. Real beginners may have to walk a few parts, but
most of it is very beginner-friendly, and scenic as well!
• If you love to mountain bike and camp, fish, kayak, hike, cave (on
tours only), and/or swim, you will have a wonderful time at this park!
Some of the most awesome areas are for hikers only, but there are plenty
of miles of trail to ride if you aren't a hiker! This is primarily an
undeveloped park - no hookups, pit toilets, no showers, but a whole
lot of fun to be had!
