Description: Swanson Park serves up about 6 miles of flowing singletrack with a little something for everyone. Numerous ramped log crossings, mini-jumps, dips, and gravity cavities await you here. The trails are not overly technical, and there is no serious climbing to be had here, but it is fun nonetheless. The recommended route is to start at the trailhead and follow the singletrack adjacent to the playground into the woods. As soon as you hit the woods there is an immediate left you want to take. Take the left and climb into the woods. From here on out the route is fairly well marked (look for signs attached to trees) and you won't have to think about where the trail goes until you finally cross the Fire Department access road. Cross the road and take the uphill section to your left. Once again, as soon as you take this left, the trail does the scouting work for you.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by bproulx on July 19, 2007
For a great afternoon ride for riders of all skill levels, there is no better trail in the Omaha area. Most of the trail is smooth and even with minimal rutting and tree roots (which plague other trails in the area). A few great downhill sections allow one to gain some good speed without feeling like you're going to hit a tree around the next corner.

This is a good trail to take a beginner or kids to. It is a fun trail to ride, and not too technical so as to discourage people.
Similar Trail: For a harder and better ride in the omaha area try Platte River, and Lewis and Clark
