Confirmed from Erie Singletrack'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.
Popular outdoor space featuring mountain-biking paths, with some designed for beginner riders.
What runners say about Erie Singletrack
“All the riders were friendly and the segments are interesting and well maintained.”
“It's a well designed trail system where people of all ages and experience levels can have fun on a mountain bike or go for a hike to take in some great views.”
Awesome place for downhill mountain biking with an incredible view! There are three main single tracks starting from the southeast parking lot - one green, one blue, and one black. And, the black run is split into three sections with increasingly large jumps and difficulty.
It's fantastic that this place exists in my backyard. It's a well designed trail system where people of all ages and experience levels can have fun on a mountain bike or go for a hike to take in some great views. The east side trails are more for mountain biking. With green, blue, and black trails.
I really like this place for getting a quick workout in on the MTB. There's a gazebo, an outhouse, and a great little map. One mile loops, with varying degrees of difficulty depending on the line you take.The "difficult" trails are only as hard as you make them.
First time back on a mountain bike in about 5 years. Couple of friends and I decided to ride this place and we were pleasantly surprised. There were 4 of us spread across all skill sets. 1 rider had never been mountain biking at all and she loved the place. Plenty of options for her to work on beginner skills.

“Great option to work on some technical skills, get a quick ride in, or do laps hitting the loads of man-made rock and dirt features.”
“There was a porta-potty there when we arrived because an event was happening later - I would have been really disappointed if it hadn't been there.”
“Would have gave 5 stars if it had a water fountain next to the bathroom/rest areas.”
“There are three main single tracks starting from the southeast parking lot - one green, one blue, and one black.”
