Mountain Biking Cottonwood River Trail

****   Add a review
#61 of 91 mountain bike trails in Kansas
#8,650 in the world

This is a fun easy trail that follows the Cottonwood River. You will twist and turn, dip and jump, cross a low water and hit some light skill challenges along the way to Peter Pan Park. When you dump out into the park go to the left and find the stone built bridge. This park has some cool structures all made from stone. Now turn around and head back!
