Bald Eagle is one of the easiest mountain bike trails in our system. It is perfect for beginners yet includes features that still make it fun for experienced riders.

This out-and-back trail follows the shores of Lake Higgins providing beautiful scenery and opportunities to view unique waterfowl and possibly a bald eagle, the trail’s namesake. This trail offers great opportunity for progression, featuring berms, bridges, and an optional wallride as well as a 1.14 miles intermediate loop, the “Bald Eagle Aerie,” on the southwest side of Lewiston Road. This trail is also suitable for hiking.

The Reedy Fork Trail parallels the Reedy Fork Creek that flows into back waters of Lake Townsend. For an easy ride, travel from the Plainfield Road trailhead or connector west towards Lake Brandt Road. For a more technical challenge, head east towards North Church Street.

You will find signs of deer, raccoon, and beaver on this heavily-wooded trail, and it is popular with both hikers and mountain bikers. If you are looking for a longer ride, continue east onto the Blue Heron Trail. 

The Blue Heron Trail is one of the easier mountain biking trails in our system. Located along the shores of Lake Townsend, there is plenty of variety for both beginner and experienced riders.

The King Fisher Trail is one of our newer trails, offering fun, flowy single-track along the shores of Lake Townsend.

While King Fisher is one of the easier trails in our system, continue onto Swan Song for some more intermediate flowy fun, with a few jumps, plenty of pumps, and some super sweet berms in the mix. Swan Song can be ridden as a “lollypop lap” when accessed from the northern most part of the King Fisher Trail.

Swan Song is a trail that was designed and built to be bicycle-specific flowy fun. Swan Song contains a few jumps, plenty of pumps, and super sweet berms in the mix.

These features are all intermediate in nature with no gap jumps present and one drop which has an alternate line available. Swan Song ties directly into Kingfisher and can be ridden as a "lollypop lap" when accessed from the northern most part of the Kingfisher Trail.

The Owl’s Roost Trail is one of the region’s most popular hiking and mountain biking trails. Voted the "best urban mountain biking trail" in the country by Bicycling Magazine in 2003, this trail features dips, twists, turns, and hops making it a favorite for single-track riding.

This trail is rated as intermediate with numerous technical features, making it more difficult than other trails in our system. Consider mixing up your ride or hike with an additional 1.3 miles of trail that have been converted from old fire lanes. The Owl’s Roost Trail is one of six watershed trails designated as part of the North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail. 

Keeley Park Pump Track 

The Keeley Park Pump Track features two tracks of continuous dirt loops of rollers and berms. The park gets its name from the pumping motion that requires the use of both the upper and lower body, a method of propulsion the cyclist uses to navigate around the track without pedaling. 

This facility is a low-risk opportunity due to the flat nature of the course. Your speed is limited by your skill level, making it safe and enjoyable for all ages.  For more information, click here. 

The Zone at Country Park

"The Zone" features jumps, berms, rhythm, and whoop sections and is for intermediate and advanced riders only.  Helmets are required.
