MTB North Carolina
Signal Hill Parks & Recreation Area, Statesville




Signal Hill 1 * Signal Hill *
River Loop
Whoop-De-Do's
This mountain biking park is in downtown Statesville. The park entrance is right behind a parking lot of a large shopping mall.

This section is a roller coaster of berms which are about 5-6 ft deep. And of course, there's roots at the bottoms to make it real interesting.

This 4 mile loop includes a scenic tree canopy ride following a creek, and a new section which include a double switchback and a downhill plunge back to the creek's edge.

A nice challenging ride which takes about 1 hour to complete.

Tight n' Twisty
Now you know what they mean by tight single track. This is about 1 foot wide at best, but you can run fast on this.

On trails like this, you can only look about 20 feet ahead. This track has lots of 90 degree turns thru a cedar grove and then down through hardwood trees.

The climbs here are modest but just long enough to burn your legs without fatiguing halfway.

Lots of "S" switchbacks and some 180 degree turns make this bike park quite the workout.

Single Track
Tech Section
 It may look innocent enough, but if you look closely, there are 3 jump/drops over roots marked by the 3 stumps on the left. Nothing like plunging 3 ft into a rut about half the length of a bike. This section is slated to be bulldozed over (too bad).
