Decent. Area has far more potential than these trails take advantage of. No markings whatsoever. You would be better suited to drive the extra hour if you live in Des Moines and visit Sugar Bottom.

The trail has grown to 7.2 miles in the last few years. Plenty of technical singletrack that is relentless in the sense it never lets you rest. Good times!

This is without a doubt some of the best riding in Iowa. The trails when dry are fast, but technical. A great time if you've got the skills

Decent technical trails, I rode them in the Iowa Games of 2000. The area has surprisingly few trails considering how much wooded terrain you can see from the roads. I'd like to see some local clubs construct and make better use out of the land around Boone.

the climbs are bitch on the legs but the last down hill is fast and awesome( for Iowa )

first hill is a 8itch but once your up top take the single track on the backside backwards it's alot funner and faster, and be sure to hit the dual slalom course watch that bottom drop she can be cruel, it's a fun place go there
