Part of the Three Springs trails system.

Water Tank Road provides a connection from the Mercy Medical Center area (Mercy Loop trail) to the Grandview Ridge Trails system.

Water Tank Road climbs steadily for nearly a mile and gains 300 feet to where it meets the Three Springs Connector Loop trail and later, the Grandview Ridge Road. These series of trails behind Mercy Medical Center offer easy trails for all levels of biking and hiking and connect into Horse Gulch and Grandview Ridge trail systems to increase the mileage of hikes and bike rides. The other end of Three Springs offers access to the newly-opened Spur Line Trails.

The sustainable design of the Spur Line trails is intended for introductory mountain bikers of all ages. Durango Trails will continue trailwork in Three Springs, including the addition of a Northern trail that will connect to Cowboy, Sidewinder and Horse Gulch.

Check out the Pre-Flight Pump Track Skills Checklist video from Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park in Boone, NC to have sure you are prepared before heading out.
