From the reviews

Good plenty of flowing single track and technical features. And it's right in the middle of town, but you feel like you're in the middle of no where! Will be coming out here much more often!

★★★★★ — Michael, Jun 2019

The single track trails were fun and longer than I expected. Have to agree with the other reviews in that the trails should be marked, but it was pretty easy to navigate regardless.
