If you enjoy nature trails, you will be thrilled upon visiting the various loops here! Note: I recommend you take a picture of the map located at Parking. Anyway, I explored Wood Duck Way, Walnut Grove, Flat Tail, Grand Oak Loop and just a scratch of Springhouse. My favorite was Flat Trail in addition to the first half of Wood Duck (assuming you begin counterclockwise from parking off New Hope Church Rd.). My least favorite was Grand Oak (see video in which I’m making my way through a ton of tall plants). Anyway, my preferred trails offer great scenery: bird houses, a pond, multiple bridges, picnic tables, a multitude of vibrantly colored flying species (birds, butterflies, insects) and overall a ton of green life! Things I appreciate? There are trail-loop signs that guide you as you make your way through the forest, color-coded even. There are also informative signs regarding forest life. You can also find a few benches scattered throughout your walk (or cycle; majority were cycling) incase you need to take a break. Ha! One last note? I was disappointed to have found a couple portable potties- locked. I look forward to returning (likely on bike) to take on the larger loops! :-)

Great one-two hour MTB trip. Nothing to hard. Good for a hardtail or full suspension. A bit rough on my gravel bike

Bromley is the spot for the best variety of mountain bike trails in the area

It's labeled as Craig Manor on this map: Brumley-Kiosk-map-copy-letter-size-v2.pdf

Are there port-a-potties along the trails, and if so, where?

There are two on the foot traffic loop (the gravel road inner loop) from the parking lot on New Hope Church Rd. There may be others near the walking loops off of old NC 10 - I don't recall
