The park will feature many different areas for bikers of all types and levels. The amount of sections they have planned is mind boggling, and a park of this scope will surely attract visitors from all of the southeast and beyond.

Check out what's planned.

• Mountain Bike Trails - The park will feature 2.25 miles of mountain bike trails designed to cater to various skill levels, including adaptive mountain bikes to ensure people of all abilities can enjoy the experience. These trails will include beginner and intermediate sections equipped with berms, switchbacks, bridges, boardwalks, natural obstacles, and rollers
• Gravity Trail - A challenging route for intermediate to advanced riders, featuring natural and built obstacles, large rocks, steep drop-offs, tight switchbacks, and technical rock gardens.
