The Fantasy Forest trail is the return Upline trail back to the top of the park. It is also directional but is a multipurpose trail that includes hikers. The trail is part of the overall cross country trail system for day use by both hikers and bikers. The Fantasy Forest turns into a magical interactive, illuminated walk at night. Guided by a lantern, the forest comes alive at night as it turns on thousands of lights to guide your trek through the Fantasy Forest. This Trail is One Way.

“Pipeline” is a Green Line Trail that is located at the bottom of “Comet” and “Dark Forest, ” where the two trails merge. It is a trail that is accessed to make the return ride back to the Village.

This Green Line bike path is the best way to get started. Whether it is your first time on a bike or you have not been in a while, this is the place to go.
