Mountain, and light Free riding. There are some tricky up hills that are very rocky but not too steep. Along with going up
hill the rider can experience some very fluid downhill transitions. The downhill experiences are great for all riders. Rocks
and jumps are clearly visible and can be avoided if need be. Note that there are some parts of the trail that beginners might
choose to walk down considering the steepness or the difficulty factor.
One of the nicer, newly rebuilt, and easiest to access jump is the power line jump. This jump starts at the to of a hill
where a power pole, of course, is located. is has a bit of a rocky downhill but leads into a smooth landing and into a series
of small jumps leading down the trail.
Another more popular area in Nepaug is know as the Tower of Power. Is a another series of fun jumps. The last jump in
the series gives the rider the most distance and air time of all.
All along the trail system there are some nice rock drops. Some are incorporated within the trail system and others are
off to the side, but are still easily access able. This makes Nepaug of the more rider friendly trails in Northeastern Connecticut.
