Description for Yellow River
The Yellow River Trails is maintained by Gwinett County Parks and Recreation Mountain bikers. Equestrians cross paths in a few places but the mountain bike trails and horse trails are separate. Be sure to share the trail with all users. There are two loops, River Loop, approximately 3.5 miles, and Creek Loop, longer, not sure of exact mileage. River Loop is easier than Creek Loop. The River loop begins with an easy snaking singletrack then meanders beside the river before beginning to climb. The Yellow River Trail gets rather technical at this point with more than a few short climbs and descents before returning to the simpler flat single track sections. The Creek Loop is much more tricky and technical. You cross Juhan Rd. and begin to ascend the first of two tricky, long climbs. This is satisfied by a unbelievable descent with several 2 foot to 4 foot drop offs in a quick series. You will end up at the creek; follow it for a relaxing scenic ride before bearing up again, then down a directly fast single track with three large drops the final of which you should inspect before you try. A quick single track with some short climbs, descents, and a couple of wet stream crossings brings you back to the bottom of the first climb or your go back to the easier Yellow River Loop, Juhan Road, or the parking area.
