Jones Park

Jones Park (formerly State Line Park) is a 310 acre town park in Vestal with a fun network of volunteer-maintained trails. Jones is a great place to ride with ridgeline views, winding creeks, and a bit of old growth forest. It’s full of fun natural singletrack with plenty of roots and rocks to keep it interesting. The descents are fast and technical and most of the features are natural. This small but fun park offers good challenge and has been the host of the Jones Park Enduro race for quite a few years. Fun park for some local loops!
