Trail Description:
One of the better places to ride if you are near Naperville. Lots of fire roads, with tight technical single track in other places. Though the majority of riding is on fire road, it's still fun and can be used to build endurance. Connect the fire roads with singletrack to make numerous loops. Better riders can do multiple loops while beginners will not be overly challenged.
How to get there:
Off 95th street heading east from Naperville. Enter Knoch Knolls Park, find trails and ride!
Additional Notes:
The Frisbee golf course there makes an intriguing post ride activity.

I use to love this trial until I came to macomb and found the Springlake trails. However these are still some nice trails. I would love to put some more logs on the trail, but besides that its fun.

It's the only one I can go to because I can't drive and it's the only one I can ride to. All the good stuff keeps going away like all the logs, now it's just a normal trail with a few logs. It's cool how it goes by that park in Bolingbrook so you can go do stuff there or sit down there.

It aint what it used to be. Backs up to my house though, so makes it enjoyable. They tore down all the cool stuff, seems to get worse every year. Cool thing is you can cross the east branch of the DuPage river at a point on your bike, Off the bridge go RIGHT and keep going. Fun for the dare devil, but not for the endurance rider. 10 miles is quite an exaderation, 5 or 6 at best now-adays.

I love this trail! I'm a begginner so those big logs are a challenge for me. I live about half a mile away so I can ride my bike there. All you guys are talking about the bluff. Is the bluff that big hole that's shaped like a bowl? That bowl shaped thing is fun. My advice about the bowl: if you want air, pedal when you're going down. I can get air on my mountain bike.

Don't drive from to far to ride here, but for locals its a hell of a lot better than the Praire Path. Be careful after any rainfall, its very muddy. Also makes for a great trail run id biking conditions aren't optimal.

Wow, I never really knew that this many people have actually heard of this trail. My friends and I first really started going there about 5 years ago and it changes every year. The "bluff" orginally was a hole in the ground with a good 300lb log over it. But we worked on it for two summers straight and it just seems to get better every year. There is also a race held once a year there for those who would like to compete. Once you learn the trails though it just gets easier and faster which has its ups and downs. I hope to see some of you around there. If you see a guy on a black/orange specialized rockhopper with really curly hair say hi.

As already mentioned, the initial description of this trail is pretty far off. Considering the small size if the actual park, the amount of singletrack is astounding. It is pretty much flat as can but most of it is very tight and very technical. Like the other guy said you can put together some pretty nice loops if you know where all the singletrack is. There is also a nifty little BMX area over on the bluff (don't know if I'd consider it a bluff but oh well that's what the other guy called it so...) with a big ole pit and a bunch of jumps if you wanna get nasty and break stuff on your bike. The drawback has already been mentioned also, and that is drainage. When it gets wet, it stays wet. I think the ones riding on it wet are the little BMX kids, since it's pretty much flat, there's no way to get rid of them. Oh well, it's a 5 minute drive for me and is perfect for when me and my friend'
