Confirmed from Colonie Park MTB Trail Head's 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 Colonie Park MTB Trail Head

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Only a handful of parking spots here, but it’s a great entrance to the trail. Running on route 9 suits me as well, so this is a good place to park if you want to use the main road instead of the trail.

★★★★★ — R. , Oct 2022

Great road biking route, additionally some moderately difficult mountain biking trails that are a lot of fun.

★★★★★ — Anthony , Sep 2024

Great place to start your ride on the canal path. Its hard to find which is why its good and empty

★★★★★ — Riff , Jun 2023
