Citizens can walk or mountain bike these trails and they are open sun up to sun down. MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS: CALL FARM - 3.6 miles - Suble terrain with lots of bermed turns. A great beginner mountain bike riders, hikers & runners. JAILBREAK - 0.7 miles - Mostly flat trails with a few tricky turns for riders.

Occasionally the trail closed signs have to be posted during wet weather and we ask that you not ride on the trails during closures to keep damage to a minimum.
