Backyard Trails

About

These trails are technical and rooty with tons of diverse features from gap jumps, skinnies, concrete slab climbs, trail made of old railroad tracks (Poo Tracks), and more. Located adjacent to Park Road Park and tied together by the beautiful Little Sugar Creek greenway, the trail system often alternates between beautifully maintained and rough, handcrafted jank (intentionally). 

Tons of Rock/Concrete Features from the Old Water Treatment Facility

Featuring 3 Main Loops - Front, Middle, Back Thirds - each with their own personality, you can tailor your ride style and length to the mood you're in:

Front Third 

This is the easiest trail loop and is full of skinnies that are a ton of fun. Great to hop on to get your legs warmed up before hopping on some of the other loops/features.

Skinnies!

Middle Third

This is the main and most popular loop of the trail system featuring the iconic Poo Tracks (trail made entirely of narrow concrete railways from the early 1900s). It’s miles of primitive singletrack blended with session-able jump lines with some good flow peppered here and there. The New and Old Jump Lines offer something for every skill level. The Old Jump Line featuring wooden shotgun jumps, tabletop rock jumps, and some mandatory gap jumps off to the side. The New Jump Line features table top jump lines, BMX-style kicker gap jump lines, and a bunch of other features.

Back Third

A rugged and technical gauntlet of natural rock, punchy climbs, and high-consequence maneuvers designed to test your bike handling skills.

Marion Diehl

Straight up workout segment for the climbers. It’s the steepest and most primitive terrain on the property and focuses mostly on elevation.
