As you enter the park, the trailheads are on the right/left sides of the road about 3 car lengths from the gate. Drive on down and park in the parking area, then pedal back to the front. There are small bridges at creek crossings and one place where the trail zig-zags back and forth across a dry creek bed. You can pick up a lot of speed here and get some air time with speed up on the other side! There are also a few steep ravines, but they have alternate bypasses for beginners. The trail's short enough that you can ride it two or three times and enjoy the fun spots multiple times.
From Charlotte travel I-85 North: Take Exit 94 off of I-85 and go toward town on Old Hwy. 64 which becomes Raleigh Rd. Go about 6 miles, then turn left onto Paul Beck Rd. The entrance to the park is the first driveway to the right. -- From Winston-Salem or anywhere north of Lexington on Hwy. 52: From North Main street in Lexington, turn onto east 5th street. The street will change into Raleigh road after the Davidson Plaza (Burger King, Blockbuster, K-Mart) you will stay on Raleigh rd. past the Correctional Center and over a small bridge. Finch Park is on your right, but the entrance to the park is off the next road on your right at the top of the hill (Paul Beck Rd.)
