How To Access Mountain Island Trails
To access the trail system, start on the gravel path along the power lines, next to the parking lot entrance. You will come across the Hydro (green flow) and Spillway (blue flow) trails on the right. Continue just passed this trails and exit to the left across the cross walk. Going through the gate starts the mile-ish pedal on the Carolina Thread Trail / Fire road connector to get to the trail system. Continue on this trail for about a mile and you arrive at the Mountain Island Trail system. To your right through the wooden trail entrance are original Mountain Island Trails Boardwalk Loop, Outer Loop, and Inner Loop. To the left across the bridge are newer trails K2, K34, River, Siren, and Skeleton.
Spillway - Blue Flow/Jump Trail
A fast rolling lap-able blue flow trail right off the main parking lot.
Hydro - Green Flow/Adaptive Trail
An adaptive bike friendly green trail that has a second lower half that introduces smaller jumps. There is a cool step up at the end that can help build confidence in the transition to blue jumps. Everything is rollable.
Underpass
A short climb leads to a sizeable drop (~5-8 feet?) that brings you to a uniquely awesome wooden roller coaster like section that plunges you below the Carolina Thread Trail and shoots you out the other side. Fun and quick trail that would only be made better by a quick loop back to the top!
K34
Part of the Mountain Island Park Trail system that is accessed after taking the ~mile gravel access road/Carolina Thread Trail to the trail system. Similar to K2 but it's harder brother, this hand cut singletrack that starts with a longer climb to provide the elevation for the fun descents you'll find on this trail. The trail includes smaller jumps, drops, gap jumps, berms, and rollers.
