Lake Cammack is an 850-acre reservoir located in the northern section of Alamance County. The park consists of 62 acres with boating, fishing, playgrounds, picnic shelters and walking/biking trails. The trails meanders through thick oak forest along the shores of the lake and back into the hills. Several small climbs, rocks and log stacks make for a good solid ride in a wonderful scenic area.

Reviewed by: Thom Reviewed on: 10/22/2012 Overall: Technical: Climbing: Freeride: Scenery/Wildlife: Flow: Report inappropriate review	You should CONSIDER THIS TRAIL CLOSED TO RIDERS. We rode the walking trail as no one was walking. The trail had some washed out rut areas and tree limbs strewn around. The mountain bike trail has not been maintained in a few months and we were advised by the station worker (*you must check in first) that for all intent and purposes he considers the mountain bike trail CLOSED. He mentioned that he may ask the city to revoke the contract that they have with whoever is maintaining it and attempt to maintain if for next season but that is up in the air. Although it's closer to my home, it's not going to be an option to ride here. You should CONSIDER THIS TRAIL CLOSED TO RIDERS.

Reviewed by: Rusted Reviewed on: 06/16/2010 Overall: Technical: Climbing: Freeride: Scenery/Wildlife: Flow: Report inappropriate review	Due to budget cutbacks, the trails are now closed on Wed and Thurs. Didn't find that out until I drove an hour out there from Chapel Hill. What I saw looked nice. Call ahead before you go.
