Medium length trail with a bit of everything. Good for mid-level or better riders. Beginner riders might be overwhelmed in places.

Personally I prefer riding this trail from the lake-side entrance and riding in a clockwise direction. This puts two fairly steep climbs in your path, but the payback to ride the rest of the trail this direction makes it worth it to me.

A fun set of trils if you happen to be in the Greensboro area. There are a number of loops so it is a bit easy to get confused. Tgis is a fun trail with some technical section that keep you focused and some really fast switchbacks. Best of all they are actually for mtn biking.

we parked in a little pull off just after the bridge. There is a sigh that states no biking but dont worry about it. This trail will take you to the MTN biking trails. However if you happen to come accross a runner/walker on this .5 mile section please show some respect and let them pass.

If you've read the reviews you'll know there are several trails around Bur Mill Park. What I am describing is not Owl's Roost Trail, but the joffing trail that begins near the Par 3 parking lot and ends at the greenway down near the lake. The trail is an old friend and for the most part is short, non-technical, pretty easy, and a lot of fun. The beginning of the course, between the entrance near the Par 3 course parking lot and Owl's Roost Road has been changed over the last few years and become more technical. I usually get on the trail from Owl's Roost Road after I ride Owl's Roost Trail and it takes me down to the greenway. This would be an excellent route for a beginner. It will start with a long downhill, so if you ARE a beginner make sure you don't let your speed get away from you. You will regularly encounter pedestrians on this trail. The only downside to this trail is that it doesn't handle rain well and there will usually be some majoy muddy/boggy sections for a long time after a rain.

My home trail! It's a good trail for a city the size of Greensboro. Not much elevation change (20-50 feet tops probably). It's on a lakeside, well maintained. It can be descently technical in places.

There are several trails at Bur-Mil Park. The most well known is the Owl's Roost trail. Two other named trails exist, Big Loop and Little Loop. These all branch off of the Greenway. There are two other trails that branch off of Owl's Roost, but to my knowledge, they do not have names. One is "U" shaped and splits off and returns to Owl's Roost, the other branches off of Owl's Roost near the end of the trail that is outside the park, and parallels Owl's Roost, eventually tying in to the U-loop mentioned above. Altogether, there is probably about 12-14 miles of trail not counting the Greenway mileage.

Mix and Match, but beware of wet days, the roots become pretty slick

For those who haven't ridden this trail in a while they have changed the trail pattern around adding more whoopdi doos. It was an improvement. Paul's schwinn has races here especially the July Sizzler. the trail is well maintained and ridden alot.

when you get to the end go right on the asphalt greenway, when you go across the road go about another 1/4 and look to you left for another trail head ( right after the trail head off of the greenway the asphalt will have changed color where they laid new stuff down)follow this for another mile of riding. it will bring you back to the asphalt greenway near a lake on your right. go up the hill to the maintance shed near the main dirt road. in the distance across the grass you will see the pool. go to the right of the pool towards the other woods. you will see a picnic table/area. they trail continues here and takes you back to the top of the trial near the volley ball courts, adding another mile (8 miles total)
