Mountain Bike
There are two lollipop loops from the parking lot. Both are very much beginner trails. The South loop is a one mile ride and the North loop is One and a half miles. Both have moderate climbs (240 feet total) and descents. The trails are packed gravel and wide. The condition of the gravel has deteriorated somewhat. The South loop is in better shape than the North. Doing both loops is a nice 2 1/2 mile ride with some easy climbs. I wouldn't go out of my way to ride here but it is right off the interstate and near the Dawson's Butte and Rhyolite Regional Park (Quarry Mesa) trails. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
