The hike was beautiful the terrain wasn't too hilly at all. It started raining on the day of my hike so it felt like we were in a rain forest. Very nice and peaceful. Lots of wild mushrooms of many colors to see along the way. My kids even enjoyed the hike.

Really nice trail for walking. Gently maintained so still feels natural. From the Nitro North trail can still hear the buzz of cars at some parts though. Lovely fresh scent of pine. Great short ~1 hour hike (or longer if you wish) not far drive from highway. Saw a small snake on the path that looked like it was guarding the path and was hard to scatter. Watch where you are going! :-)

Fantastic mountain bike trails. Some cool features. Extremely flowy and fast. There is a fun, short downhill jump track. **Be smarter than me: ride it slow or walk it first then go back and send it. The cross country trails are great. I rode 13 miles and climbed 1750 ft. Was hard to believe. That is a lot of elevation and it didn't feel that strenuous. Really liked these trails and will be back.

Great local place to enjoy hiking/walking! Make sure you pay attention to which side you are supposed to be on to adhere to the bikes coming through as this is a biking area.Dog-friendliness: Dogs are allowed, but require to stay leashed.

Great place to hit the trails. Bike traffic alternates on different days, but there are posted signs to remind you.We appreciate the trail system and the various parking lots to help with congestion. Approachable for all ages. Signs have trail length marked, but no additional information on difficulty which can be a little intimidating for beginners.

It was such a treat to bike/hike such great trails. We look forward to our next visit so we can enjoy them again. Our dogs really loved it there too. The best scenic trails I've ever biked.

I love the trails here, which offer a little something for everyone. John's Loop is beginner friendly, but you can head across the road to Pickens and Grinnin, and the others for some challenging XC. There is even something of a downhill flow trail tucked inside John's Loop.Playground: No playground.Restrooms: Porta-potty in the upper parking lot.Picnic area: Covered pavilion with a few tables.

I go for the bike trails which are beautifully maintained and marked. There is ample parking, multiple lots which are easily navigable and facilities at the back parking lot as well.

Definitely mountain bike friendly. The trails are well marked and shared between hikers and bikers. Pay attention to the weekday signs and which direction you must walk each loop. Hikers and bikers go opposite each other so you can see each other coming.

Great work, trail crew. This time of year the pinestraw carpet tries to kill me!Restrooms: There is a portable, but it's kept up well.

A wonderful set of trails, and use of it is free (no parking fee). There is a bike repair area with compressed air at the parking area. Visit the bees if you get a chance.

Fast n flowy, west side trails are good for a gravel bike they are so smooth and nothing techy. Hard tails welcomed here. E bikes will top out sometimes on the East side and make this a bit too easy. If pushing abit the trail has rims on the outside you can slide into. Most trails directional which is great.

Great trails to walk or ride! The beginner trails are smooth and easy with plenty of room to ride. It's a great place to take your family riding. There are also more difficult trails that will challenge your skills and stamina.

Love going here for a quick "get out and hike" place for my husband and I. When I need nature this is where I go because of how convenient it is.Restrooms: Portapotty

This is a really nice mountain bike trail system. About 10 miles of fast and flowy. A nice hybrid of old and new school elements. There are 3 parking lots. Directional signage is great on the trails. Make the trip!

Took my 10 year old to mountain bike and it is great. Multiple trails of 0.7 miles to 3 miles all finishing back at the parking lot. All able to be done by someone who can bike hills, etc. highly recommended.

Great place to take a hike or ride a bike on well maintained trails. My wife and I walked the blue trail for about 2.75 miles on a very nice day. The only negative is occasionally dodging the bike riders but we could hear them coming.

Very nice trails here for both biking and hiking. Its a short way down a gravel road to the entrance, and coming from one direction you cross a small stream, but nothing most cars can't handle. They seem to be working on amenities.

Nice enough park, but probably awful to hike on a busy day as trails dominated by mountain bikers. Note Google maps takes you to a trailhead before the main parking lot..keep going.

What a mountain bike park!! All the trails take you back to the parking lot. Most trails are extremely well marked. (Most) Definitely what mountain biking was made for. Lots of flow trails, lots of fun. And RIGHT across from Bigguns BBQ.

The reserve is great. I love the trails to ride. They're designed from easy to more experienced riders. I love the challenges along the trails, great inclines and downhills for awesome rush.

This park has one of the few flow trails in Georgia. I recommend giving this one a shot. The nitro trail is very fun. Long boring climb up but fun descent down. It could use some berms but ok as is.
