These maps depict mountain bike only trails. Bikes are allowed on some multi-use trails and fire
roads which are indicated on the whole park map on the reverse side.
Mountain bike users should check the status of single-track
trails at www.fopsp.org/current-info before visiting. Other users
are encouraged to be aware of the status of single-track trails
and take into consideration the conditions before using wet
trails.
RIDE SMART - Slow down before you speed up. Crashes can
happen on your first lap. Ride each trail multiple times to learn
the features and check out your bike until you are confident to
push your limits. Know your limits.
