Yes, this is a side angle view for better reference.

This looks great. I haven't been there recently but can't wait to go check it out again!
As we continue to build weekly, we are also building trail users. Come join in the construction of what is shaping up to be a destination for a flowing trail network.
Below are the dates we will be working at Perrineville. Please pencil us in your calendar, we rely on volunteers to make the magic happen.
Wednesdays; 10am-1pm
Saturday; 5/11, 6/1, 6/15. 9am-12pm
Reach out if you are coming for parking info. Bring your bike to ride afterwards
Thanks Dan, Andrew, Anthony, John, Brett, @1speeder , @Big Al , @Myles , @asm , Bill.

Perrineville Lake Park in Trailforks. The trail in the pictures is named Agress which is next to the lake.
There is no park system map yet. It is on Trailforks and Alltrails.
This is a screenshot on Trailforks of the stuff that we've built.
Yesterday was a great day to be out on trails. We had a nice group for the Build & Ride.
We worked on fixing a turn that was awkward due to the radius and quick change in elevation. This area was also wet and greasy during the winter months given how low it was.
Fortunately we had a pile of large rocks to pick from adjacent to the trail. A rock wall collapsed due to trees growing larger and we were able to shuttle them into place with the use of the monster hand truck, thanks @don 😀.
Raising the trail up about 30" at the low point got us up out of the wet zone. This was done with rock and a skin of soil was added to the top. It will act like a floating drain during the wet season, allowing water to bleed through the rock, keeping the surface dry. Also the radius was widened and grade change softened, to allow for faster speed through the turn. It's all about flow.
Thanks @rottin' , Bill G, Bob S, Austin, Brett, Andrew, Noah, Abdullah and living legend Wally Tunnison.
