The Burchfield concept is to have two distinct and separate trail systems, one for bikers and one for everyone else.
The older trail system runs about 5 miles and is almost all flat doubletrack and generally dull.
The new system is a bit over 8 miles of both a small bit of doubletrack and very tight singletrack that is a mind-numbing maze as is snakes you up and down a number of ridges and routes you over an unbelievable number of obstacles
