| Alt Names |
Tillman, Heritage Ln, Indian Creek Ranch Rd |
| DESCRIPTION |
This area mainly consists of one large gravel pit with a play area at the base. The main staging area is fairly large with plenty of novice/pee-wee type terrain for young riders to learn on, as well as some large and more challenging pits with bigger jumps and steeper climbs. There are just a few surrounding trails and they are pretty rocky and littered with broken glass. But even with the lack of good trails, this is a decent place to go if you want to stay close to town, and you like to jump and free ride. For better trails check out Mount Seigel Ride Area or Genoa Peak.
