Confirmed from Greens Lake Trailhead - Iron Hills Trail System (Mountain Biking)'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 Greens Lake Trailhead - Iron Hills Trail System (Mountain Biking)
Great trail ...no need for a full suspension I went down it with a 29 hard tail (air shock in the front) broke my chain about 20 feet into my ride and "scooterd" my bike for about 2.
Awesome trailhead parking lot. No bathroom or water facilities. Ties into the highlands and Green hollow trails in the ‘Iron Hills’ trail system. Great parking and trails for mountain biking and hiking. Dirt and gravel road to the parking lot and trailhead. Road seems pretty mild and manageable in most vehicles.
Great trails close to town! We road Green Hollow and Lava Flow, good times!
