Berryman in Steelville

This is my favorite trail to ride in Missouri. Landahl has everything for everyone. The trails are well maintained, marked, and easy to follow, clearly built by bikers for bikers. If you want fast and flowy to steep technical cutbacks, and everything in-between the Landahl trails will not disappoint you. This is a MUST RIDE! Plan on taking the whole day if you want to ride it all, doesn’t matter which direction you take off from the trail head it will always lead to something fun.

Similar Trail: Castlewood, Rock Bridge, Berryman

I love to ride here Its my #1 local spot. It has everything you want to ride from zippy singletrack sections to the rock & root filled technical stuff. There's also plenty of good climbs & desents. No problem for beginers as the trails are marked in difficulty. Highly recomended. A must ride

I love this trail. It is definately the best mountain biking trail in the midwest having biked just about all of them. There are easy areas and technical areas. There is something for everyone. There must be almost 20 miles of singletrack now. This trail is definately better that berryman, chubb, or castlewood.

this is a must if your in the area, great single tracks with loads of skilled rides.. theres some basic for the newer rider trails but its mostly difficult, for skilled riders. it is VERY well maintained and has what i can only guess alot more then 8 miles of track,, there are what,, about 10+ different named trails,, not many of them short.. i would suggest bringing a tube and a chain if your going to do some tech rides.. * Review edited 6/10/2009

Great trail system. Mostly singletrack that is well maintained. Trail systems are interconnected by fireroads. Several stream crossings through the forest. Keep your legs pumping the whole time. Some great technical areas to practice boulder ascents. Overall very fun. Definitely the best trail system in the Kansas City area.

Landahl is the best place to ride in the Kansas/Missouri area. With over 16 miles of singletrack trails (and more being added), there is something for every level of rider. Rocks, cliffs, hills, flat, switchbacks, and more. Iíve been there when the parking lot was full and could ride forever without meeting anyone on the trail. What else can you ask for?

Similar Trail: There are none that compair around here!

Awesome trail system. The best I have found in the KC area. We rode a few of the loops and had a great time. Good hills, good roots, good rocks. We rode the "Black" trails (I think they were called black). They we on the opposite side of the creek from the rest of the trails. It was not as good of shape because I am sure most people are scared to go over there. It was hard but fun. Got a good bruise from falling back down a rocky climb. Again, awesome every bit of it.

Similar Trail: Have not found one similar in the KC area yet

Great trails. The initial reviewer gave it a 5 for difficulty due to the wide variety, but I would rate it higher than that. It also exceeds 8 miles of trail, by quite a bit. Probably the \"crown jewel\" of KC mt. biking. Great stuff, difficult, great aerobic workouts. The easy stuff is limited to one loop, but it is a fun one.

Similar Trail: Smithville Lake, Blue River Trails in KC.
