IRA is meant to be ridden in a counter-clockwise direction. There are two rock <br />
gardens and a few tricky sections right away, but then it levels out. Once you <br />
get near the creek, there is a crossing that leaves IRA and heads into <br />
Waterworks/Mason Mill. For the real thrill seeker, there is a section called the <br />
highground that can be accessed from IRA near the RR bridge. You will need to <br />
cross the creek and get under the trestle, where you will see a switchback going <br />
up and away from the trestle. This section has some serious drops, jumps, and <br />
climbs. Do not go in there if you are not familiar with extreme trails.
Ira B Melton Park is on Desmond Dr, near Emory University and the VA Hospital, <br /><br />off Clairemont Ave (Hiway 155/23). There is only one entrance to the trails, just <br /><br />past Park Dr on Desmond. If you drive, you need to park on Park Dr., not <br /><br />Desmond
