Union: Bridges the Gap Between Ladybird and Champion.

We would like to introduce Union, a .98 mile intermediate/advanced bike-only trail.

The new Union trail starts next to the entrance for Ladybird and provides a true intermediate/advanced option that bridges the progression gap between Ladybird and Champion. This single-direction mountain biking trail takes users on a ride that is filled with optional features scattered throughout. The character of Union is unique to itself and distinctly different from the other trails at Chestnut.

Union's alignment takes advantage of some areas with large rocks and boulders that are not found anywhere else on the property. While several sections use old logging roads for berms and jumps, others are minimal, with fully hand-built trails.

Depending on the rider's skill and speed there will be a varied experience that allows for progression—riding through rocky sections while options for rock-wallrides and boulder drops are there for more advanced riders. Please remember to pre-ride before you free-ride!

Wildcat: A Real Treat For Riders.

We would like to introduce Wildcat, a 1.12 mile intermediate bike-only trail.

Wildcat is a single-direction proper intermediate mountain bike trail. It treats riders to various single-track, table tops, rocks, rollers, berms, handbuilt, and jumps. The start of this trail is in the middle of the mountain, providing an excellent option without climbing to the top. Riders will encounter areas filled with ferns, rocks, and a few boardwalks. The trail merges with Ladybird near the bottom and provides a big reward after moderate climbing.

Champion: A Proper Double-Black Trail For Expert Riders.

We would like to introduce Champion, a .97 mile expert bike-only trail.

Champion is a bike-only single-direction trail that starts at the top of Chestnut Mountain and is a proper advanced double-black trail for experienced riders only. The .97-mile trail is a mix of single-track, hand-cut rock sections and all types of jumps, drops, berms, gaps, and more squeezed into one action-packed trail. Riders can pick and choose optional drops and features as they navigate their way down and east across Chestnut Mountain. Expect lots of step-downs and step-up jumps as you fly down the mountain. Riders will reconnect in the middle of Papertown Express and easily be able to head uphill a few minutes to Wildcat, Ladybird, down to Berm Park, or back up to the summit for another lap down Champion. Please pre-ride, re-ride, and then free-ride within your skill level.
