Confirmed from Doris Leeper Spruce Creek MTB Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sand and root-laced, well-kept trails for hiking and biking.

Great ride, but know what you are getting into. First, I was surprised that the trailhead is at the end of a 1.5 mile dirt/sand road (Glad I hadn't washed my truck). I did the West Trail. It is fun and you can go fast, but get ready to get your teeth rattled. It has TONS of roots and I mean a ton.
Lots of mileage to cover at this trail. You can hike it or ride your mtn bike through it. Moderate to technical spots if you're mtn biking. Moderate hiking trails otherwise. Free trail to explore. I saw a couple turtles but nothing more. I went west and easily did 6 miles.
Super fun single track taking you through aPine Canopy. You can bike and hike and it’s well kept. It’s a long hard packed dirt road but most definitely worth the time.
Loved this place...trail crew does a great job coming back to ride again.
