Description
Exquisitely built trail covering rocky and rooty sections along the hillside of Swope Park. Just in it's beginning phase, it promises to be a great network of challenging and fun trails. It is becoming a local favorite since it's construction allows it to dry very quickly after a rain.

Review: This trail starts off with a bit some pretty technical stuff. It was a bit too much for a beginner such as myself. After I plowed my way through it, I was rewarded with a wonderful downhill section marked as Phase 4. It was well worth the trip!

Review: Lots of challenging rocky sections connected to smooth fun runs through the woods. The layout makes use of the large amount of rock available with some fabulous armoring work in difficult sections. Easy access in the Kansas City area. This trail is already a go to spot for locals and will continue to draw people in from out of town.

Review: Keeps getting longer and better. Lots of fun technical, and some mellow dirt for my 7 year old to enjoy. Running Woodchuck in both directions makes for a good hard hammer session.

Review: New to mt biking, I've learned a lot of painful and bloody lessons at Swope. I started riding as soon as it opened when it was half its current distance. Wudchuk Run section is an undulating rock fest with drops to the south and walls to the north with very little level ground. 8 Pin Alley (named for the poor guy who left with multiple fractures) is a section of technical rocks on flat ground that will test your skills and bike. The rest is a nice flowing track that connects it all together. And this is just the beginning. More trails on the way. This trail is within the Kansas City limits and right in the middle of the metro area. Its central location makes it a great after work ride. Best of all it makes great use of a wonderful old city park.

Review: Addition to the Directions - After turning on Oldham off of Gregory go to Oakwood Drive. Park along Oakwood Drive between the red gate and Oldham Road. Go to http://swopetrails.com for more information.
