A very well maintained trail. Thanks to the Osage guys; highly suggest giving this a ride, quite a bit for everyone.

There are multiple trails at Binder. The total mileage is around 12 miles. It is a fun trail. Well planned. Also good maps.

A good trail has some harder parts (on the red trail) that really can challenge anyone has a lot of fun dips...if only it had some things to jump off

This was the first trail I rode with some friends and I thought it was a great experience. The downhills are pretty sweet, and the uphills will really challenge you. Through creeks and open fields, there's not a better place to start your way on the trails.

This trail has something for everyone; tight and twisty to open field, smooth to rocks and roots. A loop for beginners is near the trailhead. Across Rainbow Dr. and on the other side of the lake are loops for the advanced rider. The trails are built and maintained by a volunteer group known as the Osage Region Trail Association with the permission of Jefferson City Parks and Recreation. There is 13.5 miles at present, enough to make it worth traveling from out of town.

Binder is a very scenic, very fun trail. Lots of challenges, lots of switchbacks, lots obstacles to manuever over. If you ride all the trails out there (just under 15 miles) you have had a fantastic workout.

Stacked loops that get more difficult the farther you are from the trailhead. The most technical sections are on the opposite side of the lake and a short section across Rainbow Drive. May the Force be with you and may you not get wet! Awesome singletrack with log piles and rocks that will challenge all but the pros. Kudos to the trail designers and builders. Awesome awesome trail system!

This trail has now blossomed to 13.5 miles of the best single track you will find anywhere. It is based on the IMBA stacked loop design. There are 4 loops that get more challenging as you work your way around the lake and away from the trail head. This is a must ride!

Challenging trail, will give you a great workout. Several water crossings, even a large fallen tree with a ramp up that you can ride down. Careful on the last bridge, you pop over a hill and look straight down on it.It's easy to miss, I did...thanks to the trail builders.
