At Ben Hawes the trail system offers something for all skill levels! Including the old original wide-open double-track/maintenance roads, a new beginner-friendly Green single-track loop and a new more difficult Blue single-track loop. The purpose-built, double stack loop crosses the maintenance roads in several locations allowing you to explore many different variations of the 10-mile track. A unique feature to this trail is the spring wildflowers. The northern end of the park is covered in literally thousands of wildflowers making for a beautiful spring ride. Whether you’re a mountain bike junky or wanting to learn, Ben Hawes is the place for you, join us on this fun track for the ride of your life!
