Basic Trail Knowledge

Even though this trail is only two miles, it's packed with fun and excitement. One of the best parts of bike riding is going downhill, and you can enjoy that experience without walking up when you choose this option. However, this trail doesn't go in a loop, so if you need to get back to the starting point, it's important to pay attention to your surroundings.

Another aspect that makes this trail fun is that you can ride it at night. However, we only recommend doing this if you have the proper night equipment so that you can see where you're going. Riding downhill at night without a headlight is dangerous and can cause an injury.

Another huge bonus of this trail is that it comes with a restroom, so you don't have to worry when you have an emergency. 

Things to Consider

Even though this trail is very fun, there are things riders need to look out for while on this journey. You'll travel through multiple terrain types throughout these two miles, which can make things complicated for new mountain bikers.

• Tree roots;
• Sharp turns;
• Rocks;
• Trees;
• Bushes;
• Slippery spots;
• Jumps.

This is a fast-paced trail which is why we recommend experienced bikers navigate it. However, you don't need to be a professional to enjoy this ride. If you've already experienced a few other trails, you should have no problems with this one.

Sightseeing and Related Trails

Even though this trail is quick and short, plenty of beautiful spots make for great photo opportunities. For example, it's located next to a park with picnic tables for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. In addition, the trees throughout this trail are well taken care of and interesting to photograph, especially if you find a unique one.

There are also some bridges throughout this trail that look fantastic, and rock gardens you can enjoy. You don't need to travel far to appreciate the beauty of the area. People at Cold Creek work hard to maintain the landscape by clearing away any trash.

Conclusion

Cold Creek is a great option for bike riders who are confident in their physical abilities and feel comfortable on a downhill slope. Some sections are easier to navigate than others due to the land being firmer in select areas. If you're interested in getting the most out of your exercise, you're free to take this trail as often as you want.
