Description: I rated this trail a 3 for technical rating because if you only ride the singletrack it's pretty easy with some steep ups and downs, log piles and tight turns. But if you choose to be more daring there are other treats along the trail like log rides, skinny bridges, dirt jumps, gaps and drops. I work with others to keep this trail free of erosion, fallen trees and general overgrowth, even during the summer monthswhen weeds usually get nasty so it's always fun to ride.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by ckcoolic on July 11, 2011
This is a great trail. It has nice flow and rewards you the faster you ride. There is a pretty solid crew in town that keeps the trails maintained. Not very much trail, about 6 miles, but probably the best singletrack available before you get to Colorado. Check out Big Poppi Bicycle Co. for local shop support.

This trail is awesome! It's been added onto and now is a great ride and great workout. Some added log rides and ladder sections and lots of new trail. I highly recommend this trail to anyone in the Manhattan area.
Similar Trail: Millers Meadows, in Wichita.

If you live in Manhattan, this trail is a must ride. It is short, but really fun dirt! I used to work my speed on this trail by riding it after work, back and forth, back and forth. It never really got old! Use this trail to keep in shape, and then on long weekends, drive to Colorado and ride!
