I've been there a couple of times with my 15 year old son. The trails are pretty easy, with a few steep one's thrown in. The harder trails are marked, and the muddier one's will have a "winch" sign before you get into them. You can follow a creek, and ride the sandbars along it. There is a "track" on top of one of the hills with a few jumps.

All in all a real nice place, the owners are friendly. They even loaned us some tools one day. I saw several dads with their younger kids there riding. IMO, a perfect place to take your son.

 

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a good places, do they have a kids area?

I can't say they have "kids area", but there are open fields up by the gate/parking area. It is nothing grass fields before you head to the wooded areas. Like I said, IMO it is a perfect place for young kids to learn at.

If your worried about other people no keeping an eye out for your son, I don't think that would be a problem. The first time my son and I went we had the whole place to ourselves. The second time there were maybe 10 other people there. Being a new place it's not well known yet.

 

If you have not gone yet, go. I just took my son there over this past weekend. All the trails are marked, green is like a road, yellow is easy, red is hard core. Nice people both riders and workers.

 

We finally made it over there today. We all had alot of fun and the people working were every nice. We rode for about 5 hrs the trails are nice. I think that we will go back.
