The park / where it is

Connected & nearby trails

Everything worth riding here is right out the parking lot.

Know before you go

Arrive with your bike ready and a plan for how far you want to go, since the connected systems run long. Keep dogs leashed, follow posted park rules, and pull up a trail map so you can pick a loop. If the ground’s been wet, point yourself toward Little Sugar, which drains better than most of the local dirt.
