This is a nice trail system tucked away in a well established recreation park. The trail starts at the end of the parking lot at the bottom of the hill. The first trail is blazed blue and it's rooty and a bit tough to follow due to the multiple spurs and cut through trails. Just keep following the blue trails and you'll be cool. After about half a mile you'll see a sign saying "End of City Maintenance" or something to that effect to the right. Head in this direction for the good singletrack. Some of the trail seems to have been destroyed due to recent development but the loop to the left was completely in tact on 5/8/07. After this loop follow the blue, green, and red blazed trails to finish the ride (though it's tough to do without backtracking a fair amount). The trails are a bit rooty with some steep spots but definitely a fun ride.
From Raleigh take US 70 East off I-40. Go about 5 miles and take the Vandora Springs Road exit. Turn left on Vandora Springs Rd. Vandora Springs quickly ends in a 'T' - head right on W. Garner Rd. Go about a mile, look for the park signs on the left just after the old train station (now museum) on the right.
