Swan Creek Loop

Overview

Start at the north entrance and follow the North Entrance Connector Road to the Swan Creek North Connector. Climb this gravel road for a short ways past the drops and head to the sign for Hustle & Flow on the right. <br><br>This easy, cross-country trail forms an outer and inner loop through the park and also serves as the framework for most of the trails. As a rule of thumb, look for "one-way bike trail" or "easier" signs at any intersections you encounter.<br><br>Follow Hustle & Flow as it winds through the trees past some optional wood features and around to the side of the hill. Here, an unmarked split in the trail provides a slightly harder rock garden to the right. Ahead, the trail nicely alternates between sections of smooth climbing and short pump-able descents.<br><br>As the trail turns left in the southwest corner of the park, it intersects with the Swan Creek South Connector before a short climb to Feedback. Head left for a fun rip along this bite-sized trail that features pumps, rollers, and deep berms. You'll end up back on Hustle & Flow just a short pedal from where you started. Head back up, Feedback is worth another go before continuing.<br><br>From the intersection with Feedback, follow Hustle & Flow to the right as the trail playfully contours along the hill. As you circle around to the north, the trail intersects with Braking Bad. This is a more challenging cross country trail with a number of mandatory log-lunges. If anyone in your party is a brand new rider, you may wish to skip this one.<br><br>Otherwise, start pedaling into the low mossy trees. Pretty soon the trail gets more challenging as the singletrack snakes back-and-forth. The log-lunges mentioned above are quite manageable but combined with a multitude of tight turns, it's a challenge to carry good speed. It'll take some time to complete all the turns, which are great practice for your cornering skills. The exit of Braking Bad returns to Hustle & Flow about 40 feet down trail from the entrance.<br><br>Head left for a section of fun,
