Ben Hawes in Owensboro, Kentucky
Something for all skill levels, from easy open flowing log roads, more difficult double-track to very difficult singletrack. The state maintains approximately 5 miles of logging road and double-track while locals maintain the 5+ miles of tight and technical singletrack. This multi-use, sta...

Canal Loop in Grand Rivers, Kentucky
This is a great trail for beginners and advanced riders. The trail is a loop. If ridden counter clockwise the first 6 miles is on the lake Barkley side and it is fast singletrack with a couple of climbs that will get your heartrate up. The second half of the trail which is about 5.5 miles ...

Cane Creek (sheltowee Trace Trail) in London, Kentucky
I don't know why the locals don't ride this trail with more regularity. I know the South bound trail is fast, but it doesn't hold a light to this trail. This trail is more or less Pisgah minus the lung busting climbs. There's rocks galore, nasty roots, beautiful waterfalls, hairy switch...

Cave-run Lake in Owingsville, Kentucky
They have excellent trails, much like the ideal trail you would see in an outdoor mag. There are quite a few trails there, a good beginner trail is called Caney Loop which takes you out over the lake, excellent view, and a most excellent ride. Contact: bahick00@mik.uky.edu

Beginner
Cherokee Park in Louisville, Kentucky
You can take the trail to the left, front, or right. I usually take it to the right. The thing that is great is that you can take multiple routes. You really need to just spend some time exploring the trails. After going a few times I had a good grasp on where to go. Some of the trails dea...

Chromer Ridge in London, Kentucky
This used to be a very popular ATV/Jeep trail. They closed it to ATVs and unlicensed vehicles. There is not a lot of traffic these days. Some of these trails seem to be endless. I know of some loops but it would be impossible to explain. I said around 30 miles but I rode my ATV there for m...

The trail is a 1.5 mile singletrack loop that was originally designed as an obsticle course. The course has gone unused for a while and now has become the bike loop. There are some small free ride objects there as well as some XC stuff. The loop also has a smaller loop that is about 3/4...

Hayes Gap in Barbourville, Kentucky
Trail is very up and down. theres a few spots with avoidable mud puddles, but the 4x4 road is very hard packed except where climbing or decending where its a bit more choppy. you could probably ride +15 miles on these old mountain top mining roads without hitting the same trail twice. ex...

Jenny Wiley at Paragon in Morehead/West Liberty, Kentucky
the trail accross the creek goes up the old rail road bed towards wrigley. The fire/access road goes up Minor creek to Craney/slab camp creek ect. All 4whlr trails are fair game in this area but 4whlrs and 4wd dirt bikes are banned! Forrest service says you can ride wherever. Also you can ...

Lake Barkley Trail in Cadiz, Kentucky

Land Between the Lakes in Golden Pond, Kentucky
I did not really care for Energy Lake, which is gravel roads mostly. Jenny Ridge is a lot of fun. Some really great singletrack which is technical, and you can't beat the view. Most of the trail (which is about 12 miles) runs along the North/South trail, which is also a hiking trail. Jenny...

Sal Hollow in Cave City, Kentucky
This trail offers some obstacles such as logs and rock gardens that will challenge beginners, but overall is very ridable. The Kentucky woods and the opportunity to visit the cave make it a worthwhile destination. It is also enjoyed by equestrians, so steer clear of the green mud.

Waverly Park in Louisville, Kentucky
Waverly is a great park. It is a combination of old ATB and four wheeler trails with handmade MTB single track....I believe in thanks to the KYMBA. The trails are somewhat technical with the park itself divided into a few different areas. There is no certain path to follow so experiment an...

Be ready to hit the hills. The first thing you will encounter a series of switchbacks, seven in all going up the hill. Its a given your legs will get a work out. When you hit the top its off to the races. There are several hills, a couple of rock gardens, several bridges, and a pretty...
