Dickerson Mine Preserve Conditions

[goldsbar]

Thanks! Anything worth while at Hedden Park?

Absolutely yes. Old school rocky fire road-as in very rocky and hilly. The type of rocky that makes fire road seem like single track. The trail sanitizers would have their hands full with this place, which is why I suspect most don't even bother. I've only done the white clockwise a few times and have a few dabs each time. Not sure about the other stuff.

Great conditions overall at the mine today. Trails mostly tacky trending towards drying. Very little mud. This place dries out so fast!

Is this place somewhat kid/ beginner friendly?

White trail is a good starter. I know @UtahJoe has posted about following his boy around there.

Yes I would say if you stay on the lower section that goes along the lake and also the pump track section they would do just fine.

If you stay up top its not bad, my son is 6 and has made it thru most of the blue, white. yellow trails...this stuff is pretty easy, couple tricky spots on yellow, that my son has to walk, but he can get most of it now

There’s a pump track section?

Between the 2 lakes but I don't think it's worth coming just for this

Ah, the moto sand section. Never thought of it as a pumptrack.

Same here I thought it was a Moto thing it's hard on a bike and you can't get much speed

It's definitely possible to get around it...probably easier on a fatbike if I had to guess, but other than the one downhill straight it's pretty hard to generate speed the way that you would on an actual pumptrack. Pretty weird area.

It’s a dirt bike pit...it’s not that weird lol. They are everywhere. There’s one off Beach Glen in Wildcat. Dirt bikes were rippin long before the MTB scene came along.

I'm thinking about heading out here later today and was wondering where is the best place to park? I've only been there once before and parked at the bottom of the hill by Marty's.

Any of the lots are fine it's so small you can get to across the whole park in 10 min

best spot is the lot on Frank St. in Mine Hill.

Yeah, agreed. I guess I was reading the previous responses as saying it was intended as a bike pumptrack. Which would be a super weird pumptrack. Always assumed it was a moto area.

Opinion for the best place to park for a noob?
