The trail system features green, blue and black trails making it suitable for all skill levels of riding. While these trails are designed with mountain biking in mind, they are also permitted for hiking, running and walking.
Two of the three main trailheads in Chauncey and Doanville are completed, while construction is underway on the third location in Buchtel.
