Hike, Horseback, and Mountain Bike

Located within the Usery Mountain Regional Park, the Levee trail is named so because it mostly follows the top of levee, running parallel to a large section of the channel trail and a Phoenix Subdivision. This trail is very smooth, very flat double track, making for an excellent cross-country ride or run and a great connector to get to other trails in the Usery Mountain Regional Park. Whatever the means of travel, be cautious of riders, hikers, and the occasional horse-back rider as all are allowed on the trail.

To get to the Levee trail, there is 1 parking area and 2 ride-in entrances (all are located on the map below).

To get to Levee from the parking area will require about a mile of additional riding, but this is the easiest way to include the full 1.6mi of Levee trail. Once at the parking area, turn right onto the Blevin's trail and follow until the Moon Rock Loop sign on the right. Turn right, and soon there will be a Levee sign on the left.

Both ride-in entrances allow direct access onto the Levee trail, but require a $2 entrance fee at the self-pay kiosks located there.

To get back to the original starting point, either turn around and ride back directly the way you came, or connect to any of the trails in the area to create a loop and longer ride on the same smooth double-track.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
