WPM Trails has completed phase one of the new Gurney South MTB Park trail system for the Town of Queensbury. The new trail system is located near Rush Pond and is open for riding! This new trail system will offer unique MTB riding experiences in a 4 quadrant park over the next 3-4 years. If you like a fast, flow single track ride with lots of banks and berms you need to be here! The future will bring a long cross country riding loop, some downhill freeride one way trails, a flow trail loop and some classic pirate type trail riding. At completion it will be as big or bigger than Gurney Lane MTB Park.
Access to Gurney South MTB Park is from the parking lot on the far North end of Rush Pond Way Trail or park at the big paved parking lot on Carol Thomas Rd. behind the county building.
