has anyone ridden this park? whats it like if u have?

Mostly just large ski trails with a few short singletrack shoot-off's. Ok if your up there for something else. If anything, durring the summer, make it a day trip. Hit Plum Creek then head over there to ride. Then hit up the simming hole. Make sure your in good swimming condition cuz it like 200' to the bottom! Kinda scary once your in there.

I can't find their site right now but here's the citie's site (http://ci.stcloud.mn.us/Web/departments/Parks/Website/support/plumcrk.htm). You should swim the "hole", it's fun, realy. I can hardly swim so I brought this floaty so I could go, it was fun.

yea i cant swim so iwould be a little freaked. o well. are these trails here basically the same as the quarry park?

Plum is all singletrack but mostly flat, short, nothing technical. It's better then Quarry's but not as good as Hillside, I'd put it at the same level as Elm Creek or Lake Rebecca.

so nothin that great to either of them? the only reason i was wondering is because my bro lives in St. Cloud. and speakin of hillside when does that close or is it a year round one? I just started biking this year and i have been wantin to get over there but right now my front brake is broken so yea.

Hey Alex, definitely check out Plum Creek if your brother lives in the area! Some people really dig Plum Creek, and others are more average about it. Depends on what you like. I personally really dig Plum Creek! Its all singletrack with short steep little berms you climb up and shoot down. It has tight twitchy singletrack, and a cool little cement drop, nothing serious, but its cool. The little steep berms you climb and descend; there's really nothing else like it in the extended metro area. Its really not like any other course.
