Description: The trail head isn't clearly marked. the gravel roade to your left is the start which is the outter loop. one you come back around and break through the trees into the large field, turn right to go into the inner loop. This brings you back out by where you started. The begining of the trail has a lot of climbing but after that it's fast up and down hills. Watch out for the occasional log. The difficulty runs from beginer to intermediate.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Jewel Park is located near Washington St & Combs Rd in Bellevue, NE. Jewel is a newly set gem in the Omaha off road trail system. Trails once abandoned have been given new life by Nebraska and Iowa riders hungry for more trails. A five mile loop incorporates gear crushing climbs, technical bike handling, and fast flowing descents. The first quarter of the trail is difficult, but don\\\'t be intimidated because the fast flowing single track awaits. Enjoy Jewel, it stands apart from the other trails, but adds to the need of more trails in the metro area

The best way to ride this trail is to head west from the parking lot (across the grassy area) and look for one of two trailheads: there is an uphill climb on loose rock to the left (this is the best way to get to the inner trail) or go straight to the far side of the grassy area to find the trailhead for the outer, more technical track. Both trails come out by the main road. This is one of the best trails in the Omaha/CB area; it's quick, fast (very fast in parts), some good climbs, and a few good technical features. The trails are not marked very well but they are easy enough to follow. The first part of the inner trail winds through the woods right next to the parking lot and you can easily top out above 20mph if you hit the right lines. There are 3-4 families of deer in this area too and they are very brave so if you like wildlife up close and personal, bring a camera. Both loops can be done in under 30 minutes if you ride them straight through.

Great single track riding, has some difficult climbs but the downhills are worth the extra effort.
