Just after entering Park Springs, riding counterclockwise, you ride over one of the highlights of this area, Phil Penny of Rogue Trails’ signature rock. In the middle of a sweeping rock-laden banked turn is a large rock in the shape of the state of Arkansas. The trails here also route cyclists through a scenic water garden area.

Description

After wringing all the fun to be had from the Park Springs trails, don’t bother returning to the street where you entered. Just drop down the hillside to reach the remaining section of trails via a tunnel. How cool is that?

Mostly stable trail tread with some variability featuring larger and more unavoidable obstacles that may include, but not be limited to: bigger stones, roots, steps, and narrow curves. Compared to lower intermediate, technical difficulty is more advanced and grades of slopes are steeper. Ideal for upper intermediate riders.
