Description: This is a great city ride. Tight singletrack for the most part. On west side there is only 1 trail and on the east side there are multiple trails. If you are in the city and want your fix, this is it.

Whether you will spend time off your bike obviously depends partly upon your skill, but even more upon how extensively you explore this terrain. The West Bank is basically very linear (there are occasional short bypasses or sidetreks, but no really significant alternate routes). The East Bank Trail has considerable alternative options (especially from Capitol to just south of Locust). On the West Bank Trail, even a moderately skilled rider may never have to dismount (save for if there are new blowdowns). One the East Bank Trail, all but the most skilled bikers can find themselves in spots where it is likely to be necessary to dismount, either due to muddy seeps, steep rocky pitches (possible down/one-way, but not likely up/the-other), and the like. It is possible (once you know the routes) to ride without dismount, but it is also possible to have to dismount quite a number of times if you don't want to come back (bike and self) covered in mud and/or if you don't have the skill or daring to take the risk of crashing on rocks and trees.

Never have had to dismount at this trail.. so I don't what the previous writer is talking about You can actually extend this into an all day excursion by heading up to Kletzsch Park. Nice tight singletrack in the woods and a good loop .5mile loop with a short steep up the sledding hill then blazing fast downhill.

A nonlegal mountain bike trail that follows the Milwaukee River. Some what maintained but usually in poor shape. A few fun sections are out weighed by the amount of time your carrying your bike.
Similar Trail: Alpha Trail and Crystal Ridge in Franklin, WI are the best legal trails in the area.

Just rode this past week, in great condition, 100% clearable/rideable on the west side of river from north ave to hampton.. people are maintaining this trail, really is a fun technical ride in city, enjoy it before it gets over grown with weeds by july
Similar Trail: trails on the otherside of the river..

this is my home trail, i learned to ride on it, and it is still one of my favorite places to ride. i love it, its got everything you could want, jumps, singletrack, a bowl, even a cliff drop if you know your way around.
