Confirmed from McClellan Multi-Use Trails' 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 McClellan Multi-Use Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (78 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Neat trails that are very well-maintained and offer a few challenges, but nothing a beginner can't do.”

🪧 well-marked 4 mentions

“Clearly marked and very nice this bike picture is clearly art.”

👟 good for all levels 5 mentions

“They have two awesome downhill trails that are extremely beginner friendly and overall this is a fantastic cross country mountain biking trail system.”

Came to ride the McClellan Mountain Bike Trails today. It was the first time,so I decided to take the harder path instead of the easy path. Well... Let me tell ya. It is not called "Reveille" for nothing. Those first set of Switchbacks will wake you in in the morning, I promise you that.

Love McClellan! Bike trails galore and take you in bush to Yahou lake! Beautiful?

★★★★★ — Tracy , Oct 2023

Well maintained trails with lots of variety. Trails are clearly marked.

★★★★★ — Courtney , Jan 2022

Easy beginner cross country green trails for all ages. There is newly added intermediate trails and beginner downhill trails as well. Hikers are also welcome.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
