Description: The Frisco Greenway Trail is a multi-use "rails to trails" project. However, toward the South end of the gravel "trail" past the bridge/creek (about 1 mile from trailhead) there is a network of fast, semi-technical singletrack I would estimate at probably 3 or 4 total miles (perhaps a local could clarify?). Lots of roots, small rocks with a few challenging climbs and fast descents. Trail is not marked at all can be a little confusing to navigate, though you are never very far from the main gravel "trail". Singletrack ends at another parking lot on North st. and N. Railroad Ave.

Fun little trail system in the middle of town. Mostly beginner type single-track with a few "more difficult" spots. Trail can still be fun for more advanced riders. Just ride fast, and smile, it's the only single-track in the area. Would be a good place to get someone hooked on single-track, most log crossings have been ramped up so anyone can ride across, or use for kickers. Appx. 8 miles of trail. * Review edited 7/24/2011

I live in Joplin, this is close to the only singletrack in the area. I just rode it last week and it was in good condition; some good downhill and some taxing uphill. I really enjoy singletrack, and the singltrack portion of this trail is great because it's only used by bikers. There are a couple of large chat piles and some little jumps setup that make this a lot of fun to ride. I suggest making it out if you enjoy biking, it's so much more fun than riding on a flat, wide surface! Park at Zora and St. Louis and ride southwest on the trail for about a mile, there are some singletrack entrances on your right past the bridge a ways.
Similar Trail: Fayettville, AR is about a 2 hour drive from Joplin - Devil's Den State Park nearby is awesome and you should make it out to ride those trails if you enjoy this.
