Confirmed from Great seal Mountain Bike Trail'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 Great seal Mountain Bike Trail
Some of Ohio’s best mountain biking. Trails are very well maintained by the locals. Lick Run Rd is the best place to park. Do not pay much attention to the trail maps on the trails, a lot of trails have been added in the past couple years.
Great trail system. Way more elevation than we expected!!! Good mix of terrain!❤️
A variety of trails with natural rock drops, rock gardens, loose steep downhills, gaps, but also flowing xc trails. There are trail maps throughout and ample climbs and downhill sections. Great place to get some elevation and some heart-pumping descents.
Best mountain bike trails in our area. Very challenging and technical. A few really nice flow trails. Great climbing.
