For Pete’s Sake

Get a running start on the bridge to begin climbing the bluff with momentum. The trail has off-camber sections, rock gardens, dips, and short climbs, and runs along former terraced farm land; as it flows through stands of pines and hardwoods. This trail has it all: fun runs, slightly technical climbs, narrow bridges, loose rocks, steep slopes that will test ability to stay on the trail. The labyrinth-like arrangement will give an experience of déjà vu on repetitive sections. Take a breather on the straight-ish western edge of the park property before navigating Momma’s Milkshake down to the creek. Terrain requires you climb back up the hill before passing over more rock gardens, and ride perpendicular to the severe slopes back to a skill testing drop to the bridge. (This description follows the trails clockwise. Trails can be ridden in both directions and in whatever order the rider desires.) Trails from Chewacla State Park are part of the National Recreational Trails program. More information can be found at: http://www.americantrails.org/NRTDatabase/trailDetail.php?recordID=3646
