Big Creek Freeride Area

The Freeride Area at Big Creek Park is designed with gravity riders in mind, and offers a number of progressive features designed to build confidence and expertise in more advanced trail skills.


Freeride Trails:

  • Gully - The original Big Creek Freeride trail includes steep downhill sections, jumps and an optional road gap line

  • Lunch Line - Longest DH trail, includes roots, a rock garden, jumps and berms

  • Honor Roll - Features a trail gap, triple berm jumps and connects to the lower portion of Gully

  • Slalom - Our version of a flow trail features huge berms and a 20ft tabletop courtesy of the Eagle Scouts

  • Sender Row - Great place to finish upper Lunch Line, includes a technical rock garden and dirt sender drop

  • El Scorcho - Originally an uphill XC trail, now DH-only. Includes flat berms and a few technical features.

  • Typhoon - The most technically difficult trail, includes a 7ft drop off Warren's Rock down to rocky and rooty sections

  • Beginner Dirt Jumps - Perfect place to learn the basics on a step-up and three tabletop jumps

  • Expert Dirt Jumps - Includes an intermediate line with 15-20ft tabletops and an expert-only line with four large gap jumps

NOTE: All trails in the Freeride area are 'EXPERT level', with various lines having optional 'Expert Only' features and drops.

CAUTION:
We strongly encourage riders to:

  • Wear a full face helmet, knee and elbow pads.

  • Lower your seatpost

  • Walk the trail BEFORE riding it to familiarize yourself with the terrain and features

  • Go ONLY in the direction posted on signs. Do NOT walk or ride up a downhill-only trail.

  • Do not modify or build without permission

Big Creek Freeride continues to evolve giving riders new jumps, features, and alternate lines. Stay in touch with the Freeride Group on Facebook.
