Swope Park Mountain Bike Trail

It's a good workout, but (and maybe this is just me), it's easy to get lost, so more trail markers would be helpful.

Beautiful even in winter, the trails were a bit muddy and very rocky, wear good shoes for hiking and watch your step. Will definitely be going back when it gets warmer.

Nice little outdoorsy spot close to home. Our dogs like going here for a quick splash.

The trails at Swope are a blast for the intermediate to advanced rider. Most of Rancho Deluxe is suitable for beginners, along with portions of other trails but the rock gardens, ledges and drops are plentiful and will cause even the well experienced rider to pucker-up and think twice. I always park up at the adventure center because cars are continually vandalized at the lower parking area (the only negative). Woodchuck Run is a favorite trail of many and recent expansion has added several more miles to include more berms, drops, jumps and one way only DH runs. Look for optional lines and features as almost every trail has them. Wear DEET whenever it’s not Wintertime!

This is a large quiet place, hiking trails are huge with lots of possible ways. This could be such a great place to spend times alone with camping and other outdoor opportunities. Security seemed to be active here, so we really didn’t feel that much worried. But to be honest it was really quiet and no other person we saw. If anyone has problem in a really deserted place then it’s not for them. But my complaint is it’s not kept well and it seems to be dirty.This place is so torn and odorous that all expectations to spend a good time here will go in vain. But just for some hours, we enjoyed a lot. Woods was really thrilling for me. Starting from this shelter and getting back to the road was quite a challenge. A ride with mountain bike would be more thrilling I can assure.
