Chestnut Mountain Park

Chestnut Mountain Park in Canton, North Carolina, stitches a free, community-built Berm Park into a larger network of multi-use singletrack — sources report the bike network anywhere from about 9 to 14 miles depending on how Berm Park and backcountry segments are counted. Built with Berm Peak's involvement and machine-built trail work, the area delivers everything from family-friendly climbs on Papertown Express to jump lines, a skills area and expert-only features for riders chasing airtime and technical flow.

Slate Rock (102)

Slate Rock (Trail 102), accessed from Yellow Gap Road near Brevard, NC, is a short, scenic singletrack descent threaded with stream crossings and a waterfall—an ideal connector for a longer loop with Pilot Cove, Pilot Rock, or Laurel Mountain. The route is not extremely steep but sees light use, so expect occasional blown-down trees, wet rock sections, and variable undercut banks that reward careful riding and route-finding.
