This is a beautiful setting with a picturesque creek, mature woods and lots of interesting terrain. The park consists of a 0.5 mile beginners loop - wide single track with little elevation change that follows the scenic creek and back to the bridge; a 2.5 mile intermediate loop -single track with interesting terrain, elevation changes, tree underpasses, and tree and gully crossings - that follows the creek on the opposite side of the beginners loop; a 3 mile highly technical expert loop and a 5 plus mile advance loop. Over ten miles of mountain bike trails!
From I-71/I-75 take the Florence/Burlington exit 180 west for approximately 5 miles until you get to downtown Burlington. Turn right at the flashing red light onto Idlewild Road. A half a mile down on the right will be the park entrance, enter the park and drive to the back. Park by fields #6 or #7.

I just rode here for the
I just rode here for the first time on 5-9-2007. Trails were in great shape, and I had a lot of fun. I explored all the trails, but enjoyed the Advanced Loop the most--lots of fun dips and log crossings. The Technical Loop was also fun, but slower and tighter. The Beginner and Intermediate loops would be great for kids and newbies, and playing around on the obstacle course was fun for a little warm-up. The trails were very well maintained and well marked. I wish Fayette County had a park like this...
