Mountain Biking New Salem
#49 of 128 mountain bike trails in Illinois
Designed by Tim Guinan and built in the summer of 2009 by seasonal workers, the 3.8-mile single-track trail is challenging, scenic and physically demanding. There are some very steep climbs, and you’ll get dirty.
The trail begins on a low grade, winding through autumn olive shrubs and a shady, hardwood forest canopy that provides food and cover for wildlife and at one point skirts the Sangamon River. There are sharp elevations and descents and two stream crossings along the way.
