Murphy-Hanrehan Singletrack Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

Challenging biking, I've only done the beginner and intermediate. I like the beginner loop a lot, out in the prairie, fast packed sand with some small jumps.

Wooden Bridge Over Dried Streambed

Highlight • Bridge

This feature has five plank steps which take you across an old dried streambed. There is a singletrack that wraps around the feature to offer an alternate pathway. This is a great fun feature for beginner riders.

This series of small drops creates a bike stairway for riders to enjoy. Notice the trail that goes around the feature if you're out for a more mellow ride.
