			Mountain Biking Franz Lake
			
			
			
			
				#572 of 1,395 mountain bike trails in Colorado
				
			 
		
			There's a small network of gravel doubletrack trail encircling Franz Lake and running through the nearby wetlands. These trails are perfect for a chill evening cruise, or someone who's never ridden offroad before. Keep an eye out for dog walkers!

Nice warm up for a ride. We rode in from town and explored other areas off the trail, for a total of 9 miles.
| ThankThis is a nice trail to just cruise around when you're exploring Salida. As has been mentioned, the scenery around the area more than makes up for what the trail iacks in difficulty.
| ThankWhile the trails here are entirely unremarkable, the views of this small lake, with the massive 14ers in the background, are pretty sweet! This would also be a great place to take a total novice to mountain biking.
