Hey guys, I might head up to Windrock and ride some time soon. The only trail I know of there is the mid-way drop off where there is the wire fence. But I really want to ride Snakerock, and tips on finding it? Google Map or Earth would help.


Thanks

When you go over the cable and start down the trail, u come to a 3-way intersection.
Snake rock is to the left, middle finger in the middle(duh) and the trail to the right is #1.
You really would benefit from the locals so just post up and meet up with them for a go

When are you planning on going out there? I can meet you and show you the trails.

I don't really know when, also, where is southern rocks please

 

[roperacer]

southern rocks,,,, that 3 way intersection is really 4 go hard right and backuphill a lil bit.
i think there is a little wood bridge that starts the trail? you can see the trailhead from the shuttle road

Don't have to go all the way to the 3 way. Like Loo said start at the cable, once you go through the second wooded area keep going right past a small rock garden you'll see a trail that cuts off to the right. Take that straight across and you should see an opening for southern rocks.

is this a good site to go by?

 

[profro]

No.

The DH trails are off P1 (Paved 1) where trail 24 intersects. Unless you have a shuttle partner I just don't see how you could ride much. Its so steep, the long walk back to the top is tough. But you might be able to get a ride from some atvs.

Look here for rough XC rides.

have you rode the Bigfoot trail in Knoxville?

 

[profro]

Me and couple other guys built most of them about 4 years ago.

 

[the haha]

so i guess you could recommend riding that

Well, when the trails in the woods were up and running they were a lot of fun to play on. I have no idea the condition of them now.

The dirt jump area has slowly been taken over by 20s. Which is good. There were more of them to maintain the jumps vs the few 26s. I haven't been to the jumps in a few months. Summer is race time for me and the summer sun isn't too kind to the jumps.
