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:

  1. Go north on Fall Creek Road for 2.4 miles.
  2. Turn right (east) onto Old Mill Road for 0.8 miles.
  3. Turn right (south) onto Childress Ferry Road for just roughly 100 yards.
  4. Turn left (east) onto Buttermilk Road for 1.2 miles.
  5. Turn right (south) onto Freeman Road for 0.5 mile.
  6. 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!
