Wolf Road Woods
Nature preserve
👍👍 What an amazing set of trails. They are lots of hills and changes in elevation over 150 feet throughout the entire trail system. Great for advanced mountain bikers.

Arrowhead Lake
Park
👍👍 This place has a great bike trail that's just under 10 miles. Just the right amount of challenge on this one. Definitely not too easy and if 5 stars was a hard course, I would rate this one at a 4.

Highly recommend walk or bike. Be ready for some challenging hills and you'll even...
