These are some pretty awesome trails that very few people know about, and they're within running/biking distance to campus. Anyways, the one over to the west side of the map is part of a park with a boat drop that is quite popular among fishers. The park also has a decent Frisbee golf course, which the trail follows for a short while, then breaks off to continue around the penisula. This trail is a nice smooth and well maintained trail. Have never mountain biked, but I'd imagine you can get some nice speed on it.
The trail on the east side is a little harder to find. This trail begins in the middle of an apartment complex and was clearly made by people with mountain biking in mind. There is actually a much more vast network of trails that the one pictured, however I haven't taken too much time to explore the area. The trail begins with a gate blocking the entrance, there runs through the woods until it opens up a bit on what appears to be a very old fire road. the trail branches off and goes up hill for awhile until it reaches the highest point in the area. At this point you can follow the fire road back over to the road and cross the road onto an interesting network of trails (likely made by neighborhood kids). These trails are much more narrow and can be difficult to navigate, however they are very fun. On this first section of the trail there are sever mountain bike jumps built out of the mud in the area.
