OP Schnabel has a variety of trails, from flat smooth trails to downhills, climbs, shaded forest and even jumps.
There is a large BMX area with 4-foot high dirt jumps, some even have obstacles like old refrigerators in the middle of the jump. The park is located along a river and crosses over water in several areas. Trails can be rocky in areas and muddy after a rain.
