Description: Nice gentle four-mile loop through the trees, good shade and incredible scenery. No huge climbs or descents, but rolls nicely: clockwise is more gradual climb to top elevation. Trail is roomy, but does narrow in spots. Plenty of horses & runners & dogs, so be prepared to yield.

I just took my new Specialized 29er SJ Comp on this trail and I needed more after 4 miles. This is a good trail to bring your little ones to, which I plan to do. It provides a few down hills which can be a challenge for beginners and kids. I will give it a 3 because it is a little short. This is a trail I will be coming back to for speed training and exercise.

This was my first official trail (I've ridden country roads) and it was really fun! I was pulling a bike trailer with my 4 year old daughter in it and it was challenging and a great workout! We rode it in just under an hour.

Great trail for beginners, Great after-work trail. I took my kids (7 & 11) here for there intro to mountain biking ride. They were thrilled. Rolling Hills, You feel like you're deep in the forest, though you are really never more than 100' from the road. No technical challenges to speak of, but a good one to get you into riding shape for more challenging trails. Definitely NOT a white knuckes, bugs in teeth type of ride, but a good relaxing family cruise. Way better than Black Forrest Regional Park, but you'll find more interesting/challenging trails in the area.

New maintenance has filled in many of the drainage areas, which will make it less muddy when wet and less rutty when dry. The only thing more beginner would be a fire trail.

Like the other Black Forest rides, there's not much to reccomend this loop. In addition to lacking any fun MTB features (hills, tech), this one is very busy with other trail users. I gave it the second star because there are a couple fast, flowy sections--if you hit them between crowds. If you must go try to go on a weekday.
Similar Trail: I would recommend nothing similar although you will have almost the exact same experience at Fox Mill or Black Forest Regional Park.

This is very much like Fox Run, although not as much of a climb on the hills. Pretty and rolling in the woods of Black Forest. There were quite a few horses and dogs on the trail, had to get off the bike quite a few times, but folks seemed real nice here and friendly towards those of us on wheels.
