Please don't!....Atleast not without the permission from the park land manager. Even with the best of intentions, people that go out and make there own trails (aka poaching) on public or private land ruins it for the rest of us. If you do get permission I would seek the help of your local Mountain biking club and or trail advocate. They can show how to build trails that will last. It is not as easy as you may think.
I wasn't really serious. You're the one that must be joking if you actually think I have that amount of free time! What I meant was, the trails that I saw were not at all heavily traveled, certainly not by mountain bikers. I wouldn't think of doing any cutting or making "new" trails in any way, but rather just ride on what's there, clearing downed trees that are in the way (again, just by pushing them off to the side, not cutting), etc.
