Trail Overview

This trail is straightforward but requires a bit of attention, especially where it narrows. As seen in the photos, the path winds through low tree limbs, with sections where branches lean into the trail, making pinstriping likely for wider or taller vehicles. There's a sharp bend that can sneak up on you, so controlled speed and careful steering are recommended. The surface itself is mostly flat and solid, with no major ruts, rocks, or technical obstacles to worry about.

Difficulty

This trail is very easy overall, with no technical obstacles or challenging terrain. The only minor considerations are the sharp turn and overgrown brush, which may cause light pinstriping if you're not cautious. Traction is solid, and the path remains accessible for all vehicles.

History

This park was formerly known as Sandy Bottoms, and longtime visitors may still refer to it by that name. The access road and staging area have evolved over time, but it remains a well-known local spot for off-road events and community rides.

Continue until you reach North 1st Avenue and turn left, staying on this road as it leaves the neighborhood and shifts from pavement to gravel. Follow North 1st Avenue straight out of town, crossing the active railroad tracks. Once over the tracks, remain on the gravel lane and continue forward until you reach the main park gate, formerly known as Sandy Bottoms.
