Confirmed from Moraine State Park 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 Moraine State Park Mountain Bike Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (14 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The trail is challenging but a lot of fun! I wish the field up top was mowed for a quick path back to the parking lot for an emergency or to grab tools if needed. Please mow a small path to keep the thorn bushes at Bay.

★★★★☆ — Adrian , Sep 2017

First time great place to ride trails F.H.A only been riding M.T.B this summer and love it

★★★★★ — Ryan , Oct 2021

Fantastic trail system, as long as you like/don't mind picking your way through some serious amount of rocks. Lots of rocks. Some parts are nothing but . . . . (you guessed it), rocks.

★★★★★ — Chris , May 2025

Fairly close park that is work checking out. Nice bike and walking trails, lake with boat rentals, and you can even rent a bike.

★★★★☆ — Lonne , Sep 2023

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.
