Description: Not a very technically challenging trail, but deceptively challenging to your fitness level. Nice loop.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This is a great trail that seems to be rarely used but still well-maintained. Most of the trail is hardpack with one washout that has a temporary bridge currently. There are several short climbs and a ton of roots in the trail. Overall, it is not too technical though.

This is a fun trail. Not very crowded, I think I was the only one on the trail the last time I was there.

This is a very fun trail. See deer about everytime i ride it and a few new technical challenges have been added in last year. It's easy, but a good aerobic challenge with longer, steeper hills towards the end. Never too busy, but see a few riders and share trail with horses now and then.

This was a very fun ride. The curves are quick with a few sharp, hair pin turns. For a fast loop with fun terrain, ride this trail. We rode this mid July and the loop was in great condition. Definately the fastest 10 miles I have mountain biked. This trail can be ridden by any level riders, but is also fast and fun for advanced riders. ** Also coming in from I-70, the road you turn on, CR-200S is marked as Riley Rd. at the intersection of Rt 3.

Some nice trail work here! Smooth singletrack with a lot of variety. It takes you through fields, pine trees, and tight flowing singletrack. Nothing too technical, but deceptively aerobic.

I am so impressed with the work being done by HMBA across the state. Westwood Park is a well maintained, dedicated mountain bike trail that, when dry consists of 5 miles of big ring blaze and 5 miles of aerobic ups and downs. It gets really boggy when wet and does not drain well, however, so avoid it for a while after it rains. I wsh there were route options, or the occasional side trail - maybe someday. Also, HMBA membership helps with entrance fees!
Similar Trail: Easier would be Town Run in Indy, Winona Lakes is a bit harder and equally aerobic.
