Mountain Biking Tips for Scott County Park

  1. Park at the Pride Lake parking lot at the new trail head. If the south lot is full, park in the north lot across the road. Do not park on the grass.
  2. When facing the kiosk, look a couple hundred feet ahead of you. You’ll see the first yellow trail marker marking the trail head.
  3. Follow the grass track and the trail markers labeled MTB. That will take you to the start of the Main North Loop.
  4. Refer to the trail map for access to the Golf Course Loop and the Cannon Loop from the Main North Loop.
  5. Please be aware that this is a brand new trail system. Some of the trails and signage are still under development.
  6. There are modern public bathrooms with water available at the Buffalo Bill Pavilion. Be courteous if the pavilion is already being used by another group.
  7. As with any new singletrack, there may still be thorns in and around the trail. At least for a while, flat tires may be a part of the Scott County Park experience. Remember to bring extra tubes and a pump whenever you ride.
