Description: 10 miles of flowing single track with some descent climbs for Louisiana. Lots of technical sections yet still a fast trail. A couple of short jaunts on fire roads but nearly all single track with several oportunities for some good air. Rolling whoops to float your front over . All around fun trail. Crosses the entrance road a time or two making it accessible to beginners. Trail is about a 10 mile loop. The only thing to be aware of is the park hours Tue thru Sat 8-5 Sunday 1-5. Monday Closed.

Excellent trail and great ride. The only thing that I would change is the roots. Do the whole thing, it's worth it. New photos posted. Take care.

I'm from Omaha, Nebraska and I go mountain bike riding a lot. Just about everyday. I'm used to good size climbs and descents, with some rock, trail through creeks, and some technical. Monkey Trail is a blast. It was fun and definitely worth bringing the bike to try it out. The course is well maintained and laid out. Granted there is plenty of land for this, still MAJOR RESPECT for Doug and the rest of people that help keep this place going. I can easily understand why people drive from Dallas and New Orleans to ride this place. There some places to get some real good speed, well placed jumps, and just all out fun. The climbs aren't too bad. For me at least, but I worked to get to the point I am at, so don't be discouraged. I will definitely ride this again before I leave town. Well worth the time. I highly recommend this trail, especially if you are in the area. Great for group rides or alone, like me lol. I don't know anyone here that rides. For overall pleasure, fun, great maintenance and layout, well placed jumps, well marked out, and nice ups and downs, I'm giving this place a 5. This place is just... cool. NOTE: ALL MY PHOTOS TAKEN OCT 30, 2011

This trail is great very well mapped from the beginning. Signage throughout the trail for first timers. Jumps and berms scattered throughout to make for one fun day of riding. Showers and bathrooms when finished. Lots of wooden bridges and technical terrain. Great scenery and can be ridden at high speed with the right determination. Great for group rides followed by relaxing camping.

This trail flows so nice and is abs***ely a blast. So fun that I make the 2.5 hour drive from The Dallas, TX area. Longer flowing technical downhills than anywhere around the Dallas are.
