Red Trail

The Red Trail could be considered the "middle of the road" trail in Saw Wee Kee Park in terms of length, difficulty, and makeup. The northern end branches off not far from the beginning of the Blue Trail at a marked intersection. Yellow Trail splits off to the left shortly afterwards, and Red Trail heads off on its own, making a few twists before eventually paralleling Sundown Lane. The well maintained dirt singletrack is easy to manage. The path gently rolls, making it a little more interesting than some of the park's flatter trails. The road is occasionally visible to the west, and a few connectors provide access to parking areas. On the other side, a couple of short branches provide alternate paths, reconnecting with the main route after a few hundred feet. Not long after the half mile point, Red Trail comes to an area used by local mountain bikers as a small terrain park. It can get confusing here, as the trail doesn't resemble the official map at all and markers often conflict with each other (or don't exist). Follow the GPX track provided here to loop around the area, or stay right to take the more direct route. The short mountain bike segments, which feature some quick drops and turns, are not mapped here as pedestrians should remain clear in the interest of visibility and safety. After Red White Shortcut and Red Trail rejoin on the southern side of this area, it's only a stone's throw to the end of the trail. If your route joins the trail here and heads north, stay west is the best way to circumnavigate the mountain bike area.
