Description: IMBA epic ride. Many trails to choose from. Goat dance, cliff**er, switchback, and toad road are all good. Easier singletrack around base of mounds and moderate to very difficult up and down the mounds. Rocks, sand, and roots will challenge any rider on the climbs. There is also a trailhead building with bathrooms and maps of all the trails. NASTI has done a great job marking trails and I hear there are new ones in the works. Bottom line: You won't be disapointed.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Coming from NE, but having just biked on CO, this trail had some cliff hangers that darn near made me unclip. Still, those spots took a long while to find and as long as you have some time, good insurance, and a buddy, then enjoy!! The rock cliffs are breathtaking, just not more the a mile combined (cliff rides that is - plenty of other single track tree runs)

i rode levis today for the first time in about 15 months, and was again just awed by the quality of the trails here! i dream of levis when i am away, and it is so good to be back for a visit! after doing a great deal of riding in the southeast in addition to the west, i have decided that levis has to rank as one of the best bike trails in the country! it's IMBA epic label is well deserved! new improvements include several smart reroutes, some new bridges, extended bridges, some small stunts on the normal trails, and they are just beginning work on a skills section. after one week of building, the skills section already has a teeter totter and several interesting bridges, with some skinnies ready to be put in. as far as levis in general goes, the incredible variety from crazy-challenging technical terrain to long xc loops with some serious climbs and sweet descents... with the trail being very "single" singletrack... this place rules! that's all i can say!

Similar Trail: None really compare

I rode this trail for the first time today. WOW, this is sweet. It reminds me of Nine Mile Forest in Wausau, but it has much more vertical and outstanding views from the top of Levi's Mound. Cliff**er, toadroad, switchback, and porky's were incredible riding. Lots of rocks and stumps, some boulders, but a fast ride. Probably the most gorgeous trail views I have ever seen in this state.

this is where i learned to ride, and everywhere i travel: from northwest montana, to wyoming, all over colorado, and now to the east... i still compare the trails to those back at levis mound, wi to see how they stack up. levis is incredible! especially when you consider the fact that it sits in the middle of wisconsin. ride it.

God, this place is fun. Spend a day looping all over Levi's or do the distance thing out to Trow and back looping Goatdancer. Midwestern riding at its finest. I now live in Colorado and ride places like Fruita, Moab, CB and Summit on a somewhat regular basis, but still fantasize about Levi's.

This trail is deserving of the epic rating. It has all the requirements. Length, difficulty and gorgeous scenery. This trail offers a great opportunity for beginner riders to experience extremely high quality trail riding as there arent many extremely difficult sections. Having said that, there are some long difficult climbs, but you are rewarded with breathtaking views. Be sure to check out the mess of trails that appears to be a crowded mix on the map (available at trail head). These are the most difficult and offer great views with awesome bombing downhills. This trail is worth the drive. No doubt about it.

Levis is great and it's in my backyard...approx 10 miles away. Love the set up...you can ride most of the day and not hit the same trail twice.

Wow, there are a lot of trails packed into a fairly small area. Even so, the thick woods offer a high degree of solitude. The singletrack is great. You could ride here for weeks and not exhaust all the possibilities.
