Confirmed from Knob Hills 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.
Hiking area with mountain bike trails, picnic tables, and wildlife sightings, plus dog-friendly loops.
What runners say about Knob Hills Bike Trail
“One of the more scenic mountain bike trails in the area, with plenty of interesting views and a good mix of terrain.”
“Trail is well marked with stacked loops so it's easier to come back if you don't want to do the whole trail.”
Being a first time mountain biker, this was my first trail. It definitely exceeded my expectations! A very cool trail! In hind sight, I dont recall seeing the first loop turnaround point, but I may have just not noticed it (not gonna knock the place for that at all) so my buddy and I ended up doing the first two loops.
5/5 - This is a great trail for a causal hike! There is a ton of flowers/vegetation and wildlife. We saw tons of butterflies, spiders, slugs, bugs, mushrooms, turtles and animal tracks along the way (luckily no snakes!).
Be careful while you go to knob hills trail. Today afternoon someone broke into three cars, police were there and not sure if they were able to get info. This trail is amazing!!! I hope this won’t be a problem.
This trail is awesome! It has some crazy technical features but also some long XC type stretches. Be ready to climb! The bonus is that there is plenty of downhill to follow. The trail is constructed in 6 loops, you can ride as short as 2.5 miles or as many as 13.
