Description: 4.5 tight and twisty
miles tucked in behind Garner Recreation Park. All trails
are blazed and it's darn near impossible to get lost. A
few technical areas and a big whoop de doo pit. Ride it
backwards and forwards for a longer ride.
News! 1/13/2005
Just and update on the Garner trails, the new stuff is
finsihed. Two new loops adding almost two miles to the
trails. All the new stuff runs off to the right of the
bridge at the creek down the old trail that used to
deadend. One trail follows the creek and goes up behind
the school palyground. The other loop goes across the
creek and ends back where you started at the blue trail.

Note: Even though this trail
project was not as big as we wanted, it got our foot in
the door for the new project at Garner's White Deer Park
which has 96 acres. We stand to gain a major set of
trails in this area and your support is needed and
appreciated. After you ride the trails, call the town of
Garner and tell them thanks, these are nice trails and
the Garner MTB club did a good job. They can be reached
at 772-4688. This is important because we stand to get
more trails at the new White Deer Park which is 96 acres.
This set of trails was to get our foot in the door for
the really big project.
