If this is your first time mountain biking, take the beginner green loop and have fun! For the experts, follow the black trails.

Cam here on a winter day that was actually a little on the chilly side, but still the sun was out…read moreand it was a nice day for the time of year. The path was not over run with folks out enjoying the day. The path was wide, not overly hilly ... so it isn't what we would describe as an overly rigorous hike. Also, plenty of room if you want to ride a bike. We hiked about 2 miles and the path was paved all the way to the tunnel. There were a few spots that were pretty slick/muddy from some recent rains that had overflown across the path .... but aside from that pretty nice trail. Some fun spaces to get some nature pictures. Also, there is a police presence and they came down the path in a gator and looped back around. Nice to see that they patrol here to make sure it is safe for everyone.

Co-owner Josh Cohan was particularly helpful, going above and beyond by helping guide my young nephew when he could as it was his first time riding downhill. Really speaks volumes when uppermost management/ownership makes time like that. Green trails push the rider and that classification at the onset. A bit challenging for a day one rider, but we had it pretty dialed in just in time for a brilliant sunset that is frequently the cap of a long day riding out here. Shuttles are efficient, and the facilities are excellent - very clean, and include everything from a full service shop to showers. Also a big fan of the frequent races and events, and always appreciate being surprised at random by a new food truck that's parked in the man lot for a day or two. All in all, very grateful to have such an awesome place to get out into nature just a stones throw from the city.

So I even hesitate adding Jarrod's Place to the Yelp network. Jarred's is for the hardcore and…read moreriders should be prepared and ready for the skill needed to enjoy this gem. The park is built for down hill mountain biking and does not disappoint. The bike park is organized like a ski mountain with green, blue, black, and double black expert courses. The park headquarters Ahmad great amenities bathroom, showers, bike was down station. The boast a full service mechanic shop and gear for days. The park offers loft service via a truck and trailer to a drop off point close to the top of the mountain. The shuttle service is worth it unless you are on an eMTB. The shuttle pick up is just a short ride from the main parking and park headquarters. They made the ride to the shuttle pretty fun with some tight berms and a solid step up to wet the pallet. Once on the shuttle the crew will take you to a drop off point near the top of the mountain. The shuttle takes about 10-15 min. Once at the drop off there is a map to direct you to the trails. All trails are well marked and appropriately described. There is the option to bike up higher on the mountain to access a few black diamond enduro trails that are well worth it. Green trails: These are not your average green trails. One can expect to some chunkier gnarly then normal steepness and features. Blue trails: I really feel like this is where the park starts to come to life. These trails were technical and flowy and just great. My beginner rider girlfriend actually appreciated the blue flow trail more than the green one open to us when we visited. Black trails: The black diamonds were dialed. Just enough intensity to leave you feeling more than satisfied. Over we had an amazing experience at Jarred's Place. The trails offered up some rewarding challenges and some opportunities for progression. I would highly recommend Jarred's to any serious mountain biker out there. Can't wait for my next visit.

Parking is easy to find, with enough space for at least 75 cars, including spots near what looks like a boat ramp. It costs $8 for the whole day, which isn't bad if you plan to stay a while. Fishing seems to be the main attraction here. There were plenty of folks (kids and adults alike) either in boats or lined up along the shore, casting their fishing lines off the bank. The trails are mostly easy to moderate, but there are a few steep, narrow spots where you'll need to watch your footing. I walked about 3.5 miles with a hiking group, following a loop that winds through the trees and offers a mix of open views and shaded paths. There are some benches along the way if you need a break. Bathrooms are available, which is always a plus, and there's a lot of green space. But honestly, I wouldn't recommend spreading out a blanket for a picnic as the ground is littered with dog poop, despite the big "no dogs" sign at the entrance. It's about an hour's drive from Atlanta, with the last few miles on Buford Dam Highway being steep and winding. The park wasn't overly crowded when I went, but there were a good number of people fishing or tubing. If you're looking for a peaceful walk by the water and don't mind stepping around a few messes, it's worth checking out.

I was able to hike it with my 4-year-old daughter walking beside me and my 1.5-year-old on my back, and we all had a blast. The views at the top are so worth it, and the whole mountain is filled with a sense of history and beauty.
