Trail Description:
Several trails are available to ride. The Dogwood trail (2.5 miles) consist of moderate terrain. The Declue Trail (4 miles) is very technical and difficult.
How to get there:
Take I-44 west to the Allenton-Six Flags exit. Turn right on Allenton and go north past Six Flags, up the hill. Turn right into the park entrance then right into the first gravel parking lot.
Additional Notes:
A planned/proposed trail section for Eagle Valley Trail.

Well GORC or someone must have done a lot of work since the last posting because these trails are great. Dogwood? loop is a blast and a nice starter at 2.5miles with rocks and fast sections. I prefer to ride ccw, but be ready for a little climbing at the very end. Declue is probably my favorite trail so far in the St. Louis area, yes i like it better than Chubb. I have ridden it both ways but prefer cw. It has nice fast singletrack, rocky technical sections, and climbs. Bring plenty of water and be prepared to fix a flat. See ya out there.

I decided to try this trail last year 8/8/09 and came to find out that it is no longer a trail suitable for bikes at all. Do not waste your time here. I cant speak for the condition of all the trails, because i didnt have the patience to ride all of them, but the ones i rode were 100% covered in horse s*** and horse tracks. the day i went i saw about 10 horses on the trails and 0 bikers. this is not a biking trail. even without the horse crap and holes all over the trail, the trails arent really that fun.

I did Declue and it really scared me, hard to ride
when the leaves are covering the trail. Later
ventured on one of the horse/bike trails, the horses
have chewed it to pieces and trail is built so erosion
is all over the hills. Classic example of how not to
build trail. GORC is making new trail and it's good!

This trail is killer. The Declue trail isn't that long (4 miles) but you won't want to do it twice unless you are a nutty expert racer. it really pounds you. do it clockwise, and you will have some very twisty and slightly rocky rollers and switchbacks, all in pristine singletrack form, and then the other half is up/down/up/down/up/down loose, rocky, and technical as hell. This trail is very difficult, make no mistake.

The Declue trail is a hard core single track.Plan on cleaning your bike after the ride. Youv got to love those horses. Some good climbes a few nasty rocks. If you like riding on dirt river trails skip this one.

There are some good steep inclines here. You may encounter the occasional horse and hungry ticks in the early summer. Take some OFF.

This is a good trail. A good challenge. The track is narrow, watch out for that tree! Very steep inclines make for a heavy climb and a swift downhill. The track is mostly dirt and little rock.
