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.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

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.

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.
