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.

It is built on the hill and the entry is at the top and there is a secondary entry at the bottom. There is a bench and a picnic table down the hill under the tree to sit on but other than that? There is a water spigot and a poop bag dispenser and the place does not seem to have a lot of biological landmines, which is always a plus. There is plenty of parking at the top of the dog park. And there are some old growth trees. But mostly there's just room for your dog to run and a few agility items for their enjoyment!

The sign there gives a lot of background information: SPRINGPLACE MISSION "Southward from this spot stood the famous mission founded in 1801 by Moravian Brethren from Salem, NC The first school among the Cherokees, this mission continued until 1833 and added much to their remarkable advancement. Here were taught many leaders of the Cherokee Nation. One was Elias Boudinot, later editor of the "The Cherokee Phoenix" The work begun here was not abandoned with the forced removal of the Cherokee but was transferred to New Springplace in Oklahoma" The location has several graves surrounded by a wooden fence called "God's Acre" which is the Springplace Mission Cemetery from 1812 to 1834 and Principal Chief Charles Renatus Hicks 1767-1834. Several of Chief Vann's family members are buried here and this park is located only about a mile from the Chief Vann House Historic Park. This is a free location.
