Trail Description:
This trail is a very nice alternative to Landahl Park for those who live in the Northland and don’t want to travel to Blue Springs for a decent ride. The trail was originally cut by motor cross riders and is very flat and fast with a lot of tight turns and switchbacks. Throughout the trail, there are many ditch crossings and log jumps. Few people know about this trail so during the summer months, in some places, the weeds encroach upon the trail. I have been riding the trail for about a year and have yet to explore all of it. (Don’t assume you are at the end of the trail when you come to the washed-out bridge, follow the trail under the bridge, this is where a majority of the trails are). Be sure to observe the No Trespassing signs around the archery range. The range is clearly marked and is used frequently on the weekends. The trails leading into the archery range are tempting but this portion is private property!! One more quick note. There is a sign where the gravel begins that says "Road Closed". However, this sign merely indicates the road is closed to through traffic and is no longer maintained by city or county maintenance crews. (As I stated earlier, the road is very rough in places).
How to get there:
From Liberty head south on 291 to Skyline DR (Just past where the R.R. tracks go over 291). Turn right on Skyline Dr then take an immediate right on to Birmingham. Follow Birmingham until it turns to gravel. You can either park where the gravel begins or continue driving to the trailhead but the road gets fairly rough in places. Continue on the gravel for about 2.5 miles. After the 90 degree turn to the right. Start watching for the entrance to the single track on the left side of the road.
Additional Notes:
Trail is occasionally used by motorcycles and ATV’s.

Don't waste your time.
Despite the fact that it has been 100 degrees for the past month in Kansas City, the trail is muddy and has stagnate of pools water all over it.
Additionally, the trail must have flooded this spring because there was a point where the trail was completely covered with debris.
To make matters worse the trail was trashed -- I thought I was riding through a garbage dump.
The gravel road leading to the trail was actually a better ride.

This is the worst mountain bike trail I have ridden yet in Missouri. It is definitly a motocross trail. Riding a bike on this is boring and finding the trail is hard to say the least. It is all entirely flat with no hills, speed or anything of excitement. If you are used to climbing hills, going over rocks, roots, etc. dont go here. A ten year old might have a blast here though because there are a lot of great places to build a fort. You could make the roof with all the trash laying around the area. A waste of time if you are a serious mountain biker.
