Co-owner Josh Cohan was particularly helpful, going above and beyond by helping guide my young nephew when he could as it was his first time riding downhill. Really speaks volumes when uppermost management/ownership makes time like that. Green trails push the rider and that classification at the onset. A bit challenging for a day one rider, but we had it pretty dialed in just in time for a brilliant sunset that is frequently the cap of a long day riding out here. Shuttles are efficient, and the facilities are excellent - very clean, and include everything from a full service shop to showers. Also a big fan of the frequent races and events, and always appreciate being surprised at random by a new food truck that's parked in the man lot for a day or two. All in all, very grateful to have such an awesome place to get out into nature just a stones throw from the city.

The park is built for down hill mountain biking and does not disappoint. The bike park is organized like a ski mountain with green, blue, black, and double black expert courses. The park headquarters Ahmad great amenities bathroom, showers, bike was down station. The boast a full service mechanic shop and gear for days. The park offers loft service via a truck and trailer to a drop off point close to the top of the mountain. The shuttle service is worth it unless you are on an eMTB. The shuttle pick up is just a short ride from the main parking and park headquarters. They made the ride to the shuttle pretty fun with some tight berms and a solid step up to wet the pallet. Once on the shuttle the crew will take you to a drop off point near the top of the mountain. The shuttle takes about 10-15 min. Once at the drop off there is a map to direct you to the trails. All trails are well marked and appropriately described. There is the option to bike up higher on the mountain to access a few black diamond enduro trails that are well worth it. Green trails: These are not your average green trails. One can expect to some chunkier gnarly then normal steepness and features. Blue trails: I really feel like this is where the park starts to come to life. These trails were technical and flowy and just great. My beginner rider girlfriend actually appreciated the blue flow trail more than the green one open to us when we visited. Black trails: The black diamonds were dialed. Just enough intensity to leave you feeling more than satisfied. Over we had an amazing experience at Jarred's Place. The trails offered up some rewarding challenges and some opportunities for progression. I would highly recommend Jarred's to any serious mountain biker out there. Can't wait for my next visit.

A) I'm getting older B) my body isn't responding the way it used to C) I've gained more weight in the last year than the past 5 years combined D) I'm tired all the time E) Aches & pains have become full time occurrences F) I am slowly losing my will to hike (which I love) or to work out (which I hate) In an effort to lose 60 lbs before the end of the year, I have embarked on a campaign to hike off my weight. This will also include biking when I get down a few more pounds and running once I've shed 40. Why mention that? So you would know my determination to complete this trail was unwavering, although I got lost and bruised trying to follow the nearly impossible to read faded map at the parking entrance. I spent nearly an hour trying to forage my way through the woods once I missed my turn. I lost the trail as I followed the wrong path along Holly Creek and I wasn't the only one! I met two couples also lost that were coming back from where I was headed. It was treacherous, and I lost my footing several times, nearly broke my camera. I should have known the trail shouldn't be this hard, but I kept searching anyway. Scraped, battered and bruised I returned to my car feeling defeated and frustrated. "You're smarted than this Richard! Don't let this trail defeat you" I said to myself. It was then I decided to take one more look at that map, and that's when I noticed a faint white line outlining the trail, which was different that the dark dotted line I was trying to follow before. After I learned the correct path, the trail was much easier to follow. So, here's what you need to know in a nutshell: - - - FOLLOW THE CORRECT TRAIL * From the parking area, follow the trail uphill. Downhill just leads to the river. * You will come to a point in about half a mile where the creek clearly splits. As the path takes you towards the creek, look for a green blaze marker on a tree near the shore. This is where you MUST cross through the creek. * Emery Creek Trail is unlike any other trail I've been on. THERE ARE NO FOOTBRIDGES to cross water. YOU MUST go directly through the creek, which means you might want to wear shorts & water shoes with grip. Most of the crossings will bring the water just a few inches above your ankle, but there was one crossing that was practically thigh high. * The stones in the creek bed are SLIPPERY!!! BE CAREFUL!!! You can easily lose your balance. * You will cross the river again 8 times, not counting a few low volume streams. The trail is clearly visible once you know how to follow it. JUST REMEMBER that each time the trail seems to end at the river, look to the other side and you will see the trail picks up again. Sometimes you will also see a green blaze attached to the tree, but sometimes you will not. * Once you see the old abandoned truck shell, you are about 1 mile from the falls. On the last creek crossing, there will be a sign on the other side directing you to turn left for the falls or keep straight towards the overlook. * Overall it is approximately 2.5 miles one way to the lower falls and 3.1 to the upper falls. I was exhausted and running out of daylight, so I didn't spend the extra energy to see the upper falls. 6.2 miles (round trip) - - - FINAL THOUGHTS What a BEAUTIFUL waterfall. The only truly way to get a good pic will require walking through the pool at the base, but this shouldn't be a problem since you'll already be soaking wet anyway. Although there were several teens lounging near the beginning of the trail, I walked to the falls and back without ever seeing another soul. I must admit that when I got to the final crossing (which I didn't know was the final) I felt defeated. I thought maybe I'd gone too far & missed the falls. I sat on a stone contemplating turning around. I listened for the fall, but could not hear or see it. I decided to cross the creek but had made up my mind I was definitely turning around in 100 yards if I didn't see or hear anything. No sooner than I crossed the creek did I see a hidden sign directing me left to the falls. Within 200 feet of that sign the falls came into view and I could finally hear that familiar waterfall sound. I thought to myself, how many times in my life have I battled to accomplish something, only to feel defeated & turn away because I couldn't see the finish... which was closer than I thought! I love nature because it brings clarity. So, if you are reading this & you are fighting a hard battle that has you feeling defeated... take heart. Our life map can sometimes be hard to read and we make wrong turns that leave us bruised. Even on the right trail we still encounter obstacles that must be overcome. It's a long walk but don't give up. You are closer to reaching your goal than you think! 2018/30

We crossed the river several times by managing to jump the rocks to the other side and several times by just breaking down, taking our shoes off and walking straight through the creek bed. Also once you get to the falls, we had to do what seemed like some vertical rock climbing to get to the upper levels. It can be steep! Ran into a few other hikers on the trail or camping up by the falls but for the most part it was a peaceful hike. Would only have been better if there were a few more trail markers! We were unsure where to cross at some points and had to double back a few times to find the right path. We wore our FitBits and estimated that the trail was approximately 8 miles round trip. I also brought my 12 pound Long hair Chihuahua Loki because he loves to hike. He did great even with his little legs and jumping over fallen trees. He had to be carried over the streams but otherwise he wanted to lead the way! If he can do it, we all can!

The sign there gives a lot of background information: SPRINGPLACE MISSION "Southward from this spot stood the famous mission founded in 1801 by Moravian Brethren from Salem, NC The first school among the Cherokees, this mission continued until 1833 and added much to their remarkable advancement. Here were taught many leaders of the Cherokee Nation. One was Elias Boudinot, later editor of the "The Cherokee Phoenix" The work begun here was not abandoned with the forced removal of the Cherokee but was transferred to New Springplace in Oklahoma" The location has several graves surrounded by a wooden fence called "God's Acre" which is the Springplace Mission Cemetery from 1812 to 1834 and Principal Chief Charles Renatus Hicks 1767-1834. Several of Chief Vann's family members are buried here and this park is located only about a mile from the Chief Vann House Historic Park. This is a free location.
