TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by jefmtbkr on July 29, 2010
A lot of positive changes. the trails have been marked well and there is a map at the trailhead. Green loop is easy. Yellow trails intermediate. Red trails difficult. All the trails intersect frequently allowing you to pick and choose how hard your ride is. There has been a lot of trail work done and 90% of the trails are dialed in well. The yellow loop , "horse trails" to the locals, sections offer steep technical climbs one after another and repeated crossings of a ravine that has lots of momentum to shoot you up the other side. Abundant small bridges and some bermed corners enhance the appeal. Tight twisty singletrack is the hallmark of this place. Great local ride!!! * Review edited 7/29/2010

First off the local bike club "3 Rivers Velo Sport" has cut, marked, and placed a detailed map at the tail head. These trails could not be better marked. I rode there one time and fell in love with single track mountain biking! The green trail offers challenging but very mild single track fun, and for the more active there are yellow and red trails which offer mild to wild up/down hills and some jumps, log jams, there are many elevation changes hear as well. There is one spot on red trail that has you snake back and fourth up the side of a large steep hill VERY COOL! The Fort Wayne Childrens Zoo is in the same park and at one point on yellow trail, called tiger trail, you pass right by the tiger fence and can see the tigers. Very nice place to ride.
