Beyond the central recreation area, you'll find a vast network of hiking and biking trails embedded in the forests of Lake Raleigh Woods.

The mountain biking trails and skills courses include jumps, tabletops, drops and more. Two options are available for riders: a beginner course and an intermediate course. The hiking trail sits near the mountain biking trails, so please be aware of hikers in the area when riding.

All trails are marked by trailheads and <strong>open to the public from dawn until dusk</strong>. Parking is available at <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/SePZCSwojQ1UGj5w9">Centennial Campus Middle School</a>.
