Review: First time riding it today. Found it a good workout. Was wet/muddy and loose rocks today so it added a lot to the challenge. Was busy with riders and hikers. I rode it clockwise and must say all fast section were quickly meet with rocky turns. 10mile marker out there and there are new single track being installed that gets you off the double track sooner.

Review: This is my first season riding anything wider than 23mm so my review might be a bit skewed. This trail was great! Lots of rocks and roots and streams to cross. I actually liked the fire road and doubletrack that offered a break to this newbie. Rode it with my son, not his first time here and we will both be back. Even though the trail is somewhere in between "Easy" and "More Difficult" I gave it an easy because there wan nothing in between.

Review: This is 95% a hiking trail with only a couple of spots that were good trail riding... We will never be going back unless a bike trial is put in lol just saying...

Review: The first 2 miles was flat wide doubletrack and I thought this was going to be boring but then the hills and rocks began and it turned out to be a nice 10 mile fun rocky ride. I kind of like the flat long breaks in between. I would for sure ride again.

Review: Great variety on this trail. Though easy when compared to Moab, I would point out that an easy rating on this trail will get most green midwesterners in trouble. According to the trail ratings guidelines this website uses, this trail DEFINITELY does not fall into the "3 feet plus" category on width. While some of the trail is painfully boring (gravel road), other sections contain such hazards as loose lime-sized and sometimes sharp rocks, narrow trail (12 inches) while navigating rocks/roots traversing a steep slope. Get bored with Brommelsiek first if you're looking for a trail to learn on!

Review: First expierence sucked! Rode clockwise and gotta flat half way through with no spare. Rode again counterclockwise in Nov. with some firends and much more enjoyable. Got a great cardio workout for being out of shape and a beginner. I'm gonna ride with people who are faster and in better shape, it's pushes me harder

Review: 1/2 of this trail is fire road and double track with a fire road bisecting the loop. Access from highway 94 at two points on the trail. Singletrack is quite enjoyable and easy, just wish there was more of it. Good trail for beginners to get used to hopping rocks and speeding down twisties but will probably bore more advanced MTBers. *****Edit 1 mile of singletrack added in spring 2009. I also learned the best (most singletrack) route to ride this trail which makes it quite a bit more enjoyable.: http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v4536/192/49/36102744/n36102744_33173270_8004554.jpg* Review edited 9/20/2009 *****EDIT 2 01/2010 GORC has rerouted All but 1 mile of the doubletrack at the north end of the park. 1/2 of the doubletrack at the southern end is still there but the resulting reroute has added about 1.5 miles of fresh singletrack to the trail and making approximately 8 miles of semi-continuous singletrack.* Review edited 1/27/2010* Review edited 1/27/2010* Review edited 1/27/2010* Review edited 1/27/2010

Review: I love this trail. I don't think it is as easy as some reviews indicate. The double track is simple but scenic. The single track is fun with several creek crossings. There were two climbs that I had to push. I recommend this trail to all levels of riders.

Review: Like all Missouri rides, good forest scenery. Trail is mostly on fireroad or doubletrack consisting of dirt and loose gravel There are areas of single track where you roll past some lush marshes and bomb down fast hills. Total ride time is about 1 hour if your fast, 2 hours max. The old army arterillery storage bunkers are pretty sweet. Did not see any forest life. Watch out for trailrunners.
