Description
Excellent Singletrack close to the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh! These
Trails are rated as some of the best in the entire area, and it's very easy to
get a good 20 mile ride in. Theres plenty of fun xc style singletrack, as well
as some fireroads, but the majority of the trails in the park are singletrack.
The trails are not continuous and any comprehensive loop will be separated
by very small sections of road. The many branching and spurs can also
make these trails difficult to follow but the recent blazing (marking) of trails
has done a lot to help.
If you are a first timer to the park picking a section and riding part of the
North Park Outer Loop is a good way to get you started. (Link below)

Review: My last review does not do these trails justice . The section of trail that is blazed red and blue and runs along Pierce mill road is the best 3 to 4 miles of trail I have seen. I like to enter up behind the Olyimpia shelter across from the skating rink. The trials are cut into the hillside so perfectly it has to be experienced. The section of trail up around the pool is also very good. There is a professional down hill track and bmx park up that way as well. All the trails are blazed and very well maintained. There are trails that can be accessed atop of parish hill and run along the golf course that offer a great workout. There is water throughout the park

Review: Excellent trail! Don't know why it hasn't gotten much credit. Very well mantained, some trails have been blazed to mark them. Nonetheless no maps around the park to tell you where you are, but its very doable to ride them without ever been there. I went there without a clue and was able to find my way around. Fun singletrack with some ridge riding areas and steep ups/downs on some sections. There is a ridge ridign area that is more rooty and with some rocks, very fun for the ones that live something more technical. Loved it! Give credit to it people! I've ridden is several stats and its a very good one.

Review: This is a really really good trail. It is easy to put together a 12 mile loop that has good climbs and downhills. It is mostly singletrack with a few small sections of access road or old overgrown fire road. Water is available all over the park.
