Ridge Top is in black and Magic Carpet Ride in dark purple (and together makes a profile of a famous hedgehog!).
Trail Overview[edit]
Located in Warriors Path State Park as part of their Mountain Bike Trail system. A short trail up the ridge that turns into Magic Carpet Ride (and really both should be all considered one trail).
How to get there[edit]
From main entrance of Warriors Path State Park:
- Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
- Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
- Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
- Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
- Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
- Continue when road changes from asphalt to gravel.
Trailhead at gravel parking lot.
Route Description[edit]
This trail has connections to Magic Carpet Ride and Whitetail Alternate.
Typical Conditions[edit]
The mountain biking association SORBA Tri-Cities handles the trail maintenance, thus generally in good condition. While there are no blazes to guide you through the forest, the narrow single tracks are well established. Grab a trail map at the parking lot kiosk to help you decipher intersections; some which could use signs. Be aware for approaching bike riders who can come up quickly on your group. Step aside to let them safely pass.
Fees, Permits, etc.[edit]
No fee required. Dogs are allowed on or off leash. Do not drink any water without treatment!
