Basic Trail Knowledge

The good news is that no matter which trails you take throughout this network, it'll lead you back to the starting point. So, if you don't have the best navigation skills, you don't have anything to worry about. Keep track of the location of your car before you enter the park so you don't lose it.

The only downside to this trail is that you'll need to pay a small fee if you want to enter. When you arrive at the gate, an attendant will give you a pass in exchange for the funds. If you prefer riding an E-bike, you'll enjoy this network as well because they are allowed.
However, you'll need to arrange for a ride if you want to visit this bike trail network. There are no lift services in the area, which can make it difficult for you to access. In addition, you'll need to come prepared because there are no restrooms here either.

Things to Consider

Before you visit a popular trail, it's important to understand the obstacles in your way. Otherwise, it could lead to a biking accident that causes an injury. Consider the following obstacles before your visit and pay close attention to your surroundings.

  • Motorbikes;
  • Pedestrians;
  • Steep climbs;
  • Sharp turns;
  • Narrow trail sections;
  • Tree roots;
  • Jumps.

The E-bikes could pose a huge problem for people if they're not paying attention. Fortunately, you can hear them from far away because this is an otherwise quiet trail.

Sightseeing and Related Trails

When you follow this network of trails, you'll have a high-up view of nature. You can see the cascading hills and a nearby river at the top of this trail. Some of these trails are relatively short, so you can ride multiple ones that fit your skill level.
You'll need to pay attention to landmarks along the way so that you understand your position. Unfortunately, there aren't any maps that can help guide the way.

Conclusion

Rocky Point is a great trail that could take up an afternoon if you want. However, you can also spend a few hours in this network of trails instead if you're short on time. It won't take you long to finish a single loop; just pay attention to the mileage before you select an option. Each trail leads back to the starting point, which makes it easier for you to find your way.
