Comlara Park

Review: Well Maintained, active local riding group. They host xc races from time to time. Good place to go ride if in the area.

Review: Loved the experience I had here. The obstacles were easy and fun and it's in a very convenient location. I like that Corba is doing so much work to it and potential for more trails.

Review: Fun trail

Review: This place is fun to ride with a developing park area and several obstacles on the trails. The one thing that I didn't like was the layout. I got turned around several times because the trails cross each other. I just kept making right turns in hopes it would keep me along the lake and it worked out. Overall it wasn't extremely challenging and needs a few more high speed areas but it is still worth the ride for sure. The guys that maintain this trail system do a very good job especially with the way things have been this year.

Review: Fun trails, a little bit of everything. Quick singletrack on one side and intense trial obstacles.

Review: Great place to ride not to hard but flows well. Plus there are a lot of skinnys log rolls and even a few jumps. pretty flat except for by the spill way from the road go left on bovine trail there's 3 descent jumps then a log roll that I used like a jump drop type thing and then across creek after that you go uphill then there's a skinny area called prelude loop it go straight then there's a down hill and a couple jumps. Also trail 6 is basically all skinnys and log rolls hit it up pretty fun

Review: Fun trail. Bovine trail is great. I could ride 6 all day. Obstacles there are fun. 7 is a waste of time. 4 and 3 fun to loop fast and flow is superb. Worth riding. Park off co. Highway 8. Don't bother going into the park.

Review: Wider trails make this great for beginners. I've taken my wife here to get here introduced to mountain biking. It also has a large selection or raised planks and bridges, but offers the choice to go around them for the less experienced riders.

Review: I love this place and became a member of CORBA because of it. I ride it quite frequently even though I live about 40 miles away. Great single track with areas of double track in it. Very well maintained and constantly being improved with obstacles like wooden bridges and log "hills". Check out comlaramtb.com for trail conditions or to learn more about the trail. Camping is great and cheap at the campground on the north side of the lake and each side of the lake's spillway offers some decent downhill single track. This is a great trail for anyone that is not a seasoned pro with spots for timid beginners as well. Hikers, equestrians and cross-country skiers welcome and friendly here.

Review: I live in Lincoln -- no man's land for bike trails -- so every ride represents a drive. I'll think twice about going back to Comlara. Why? Everything seems to represent a "taste" rather than a "full experience." The legs are just too darned short. I am a senior (ahem, 65) rider and rode sections 2,3,4,5 and 6 in just over an hour with only a few portions described as memorable. The most technical was No. 6 and the trickiest part there was an 18-foot 2x6 nailed to a log. (Give me the log instead.) The log piles were permanently strapped together, so there's consistency, no rattles and no surprises. I did like the smattering of very tight sections.

That said, there's a lot of plusses for the trail. The trail is excellently maintained; this is a hard-working club. It's very safe: No low limbs to duck; no broken limbs to spear you and wide areas have been cleared around the log piles and the rail. Even the bridges at the bottom of a ravine are wide and sturdy. All of which makes this a great course for the novice rider. And here's a real plus: Maps are available in a mail box at the trail head and the trails are well marked. While I checked my map a few times to orient myself and see where I wanted to go next, I never felt lost.

Similar Trail: I can hit a more challenging trail closer to home at Lake Springfield, where the primary feature is exposed roots on sharp climbs, with freestyle log piles a couple tough climbs and a handful of jumps. (From Ill. 4, go east on Woodside Road, take the firs
