Confirmed from Blankets Creek Mountain Bike Trails' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Blankets Creek Mountain Bike Trails
“Signage is clear throughout the trail system, and the trails have always been well maintained.”
“You get great views of the lake on the ride and plenty of Nature and deers.”
This was an excellent hike. Well marked trails that are carefully laid out, with specific days for hikers/bikers on each trail, so that the chances of collisions are reduced. There are a lot of creeks and streams running throughout the trails.
It’s very beautiful natural place for hiking or biking. Fall or spring will be perfect time to unwind with friends or loved ones. Definitely start early to enjoy at it does get little crowded for biking later in afternoon. Pure and serene place.
I stopped by Blankets on my way down from NC. My first time here. I truly enjoy these trails. Wide variety of trails for all skill levels. People were very nice and helpful pointing me in the right direction. I will certainly come back. I left more than the suggested $1 dollar donation.
These trails are fast and flowing trails with enough variety for MTBer’s of every level. These trails are also used by runners and hikers but I have never seen any issue or conflict. Check out a couple of short videos I have added if you want to get a sense of the flow of a few trails.

“There’s an optional black diamond pass that I strongly recommend if it’s within your skill level.”

“These are primarily bike trails, but hiking is welcome and dogs are welcome on leash.”
“As I got yelled at for using it on a Thursday and got on dwellings loop for coming the wrong way.”
“These are fast, steep, and flowy and can be sessioned very easily with the attached climbing trail.”
“There are also more technical black diamond trails available from the main trailhead.”
