Description: This is a singletrack network of trails at an old military station. It has some technical hills and nice switchbacks heading down to the Ohio River. You need to make some loops and doubleback alot to get any good distance, though.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

Kind of a dilemma with this one. On one hand, these trails are a great workout for any level of rider. On the other hand, they have absolutely no flow to them whatsoever. They are extremely steep, and it is hard to have a good downhill run when the trail turns off at the bottom. They will test your endurance, balance, breaking, and shifting skills. I was just out of my element on a black diamond trail on Raccoon Mountain in Tennessee a month ago, and had way more fun there. If you want an intense after work workout or want to work on technical skills or keeping your rpms up, and this trail is fairly close, than this is great. If your are looking for some fun singletrack, go up the road to England-Idlewood.

The most technical trail in Cincinnati. Has all the climbing you could ever want with awesome views to go along with it. Would not recommend any beginner riders to try and tackle this trail. Has a couple very steep DH sections and also some switchbacks that keep you on your toes. You can ride all day, you just have to know the different trails and how to connect them all, I recommend the Devils Backbone if you like gnarly rocks sticking out of the ground with a steep flat rock at the end. These trails dry out faster than any other local trail, thus preventing damage due to negligent riders which I see constantly at East Fork.
Similar Trail: CORA is too scared to build a trail to compete with this.
