Trail Description:
This is a nicely wooded trail that begins on either side of Rigeway Ave, south for a few mile loop that loops between Hwy 20, Ridway Ave and Greyhound Park. The Northern out and back tails along Black Hawk Creek.

I estimated the mileage since I no longer live near the trail and last rode it in September 2003.

How to get there:
I-380 N becomes US-20W. Take exit 227 US-63 (Sergeant Rd) one light to Ridgeway Ave. Turn Left on Ridgeway for 1/2 mile and park at the trail heads on either side before the bridge across Black Hawk Creek.

Additional Notes:
It's a nice trail, and very few other riders even on the weekends. It's the best "tech

Tried to ride these trails a couple weeks ago and they are ruined from what I assume was from the flooding. This is too bad because there isnt much for riding around the area. Email me if you have any suggestions for rides near by timpe@cfu.net

You can access more greenbelt trails from Ranchero Rd. Take Hwy 63 south. Take your first right after you pass the Harley Davidson shop. This is Ranchero Rd. Go about a half a mile and there's a parking area on the north side of the road. Or you can go 200 ft further west on Ranchero Rd. and there's another parking area on the south side of the road. You can also access the trail from W. Shaulis Rd near Silver Spur Saddle Shop. I don't know if Silver Spur is still there or not. But anyway, take Hwy 63 South to W. Shaulis Rd., Turn Right (West), head for the trees, parking on right (north) side of road just before you reach the bridge. Last time I was there the bridge was closed because it was old and made of wood. That was over 10 years ago. Happy riding....
