Lake Crabtree

History

Lake Crabtree sported the first mountain bike trails in the Triangle. The bike trails were originally developed by one of TORC’s predecessor clubs, NC Fats.

TORC has taken the initiative in working with Wake County to turn four miles of single track into over eight miles of the most popular public trails in the Triangle.

The latest additions to the trail system are: A pump track and jump lines. Currently the jump lines consist of a beginner and intermediate line with an advanced line in the planning stages. Please follow the posted rules when enjoying these new features.
