Mountain Biking MoMBA @ Huffman MetroPark

****   Add a review
#5 of 116 mountain bike trails in Ohio
#415 in the world

Only about 10 minutes from Fairborn and Dayton and Wright-Patterson AFB. There is enough parking for at least 30 vehicles. They now rent bikes on Saturday's in the summer months. Bathroom facilities were upgraded significantly with 2 permanent vault toilets/changing area, drinking fountain, and a bike wash station outside. The water is available seasonally April-October. Here is the official ,page https://www.metroparks.org/momba/ This park actually consists of several different trails from beginner to expert/advanced with various lengths ranging from about 1/2 miles to about 2 1/2 miles. There are over 9 miles of trails total and they may be ridden both ways. These are all mountain-bike only trails: no joggers, runners, hikers, or motor vehicles allowed. No pets allowed to be walked on trail either. Most of the trails are in the forest with lots of turns, twists, humps, and (mostly) minor climbs. The routes are EXTREMELY well marked and easy to follow. There is a trail guide at the beginning and at Five points Junction (where 5 of the trails cross) and Wild West Junction (usually a good turn around spot for beginner-intermediate riders) however, you will probably want to make sure to bring a printed trail guide. EMS points are also available if an accident should occur, but I did not see a phone or alarm so make sure to bring your cell phone (coverage should be decent - there is a cell tower not 2 miles away.) The low areas crossing small creeks have been pretty well laid with stones. The trails are mostly stone and rock free (just compacted dirt) except for the Advanced Trails: Hawk's Lair and The Talon. There is now a big difference in difficulty between the newly added beginner Tot Track just off the parking lot, beginner Hilltop Flow trail behind the restrooms, and Twisted, onto intermediate trails: Mr. ZigZap, Upper Stealth, Lower Stealth, and Creekside Trails. Hawk's Lair (Advanced) proved to be a huge jump in difficulty. Serious bikers would probably not have much trouble at all. The Talon is an advanced section in Hawk's, you cannot accidentally get to this section of trail. There are caution signs. All trails have turns with a few narrow spots between trees. There are great wooden bridges for the lower-swampy areas. You have to ride through some of the courses to reach others. Note: There is now a course for young children (tiny tots and teens that opened last year!). Overall, it is a very well done mountain bike only facility.
