Trail Overview

Located in Bays Mountain Park. New beginner single track mountain biking trail constructed by the local club. Good for an easy ride or hike through hardwood forest.

How to get there

From the main parking lot, head up Bays Mountain Road to the locked service gate near the maintenance parking area. The unmarked trail heads into the forest here. Or take Lake Road around to Azalea Trail and head uphill to the other end of the trail.

Route Description

Straight level (< 1% grade) 1.1 mile single track biking path through the forest. For a longer loop ride, head up Azalea Trail to Big Oak Trail, down to Chinquapin Trail, and finally back on Lake Road.

Typical Conditions

Brand new hard packed trail with groove down the middle from the mountain bikes. No designed passing zones, so be careful of those coming the other way!
