Confirmed from Mountain Bike Trail (South) | Iwen Park'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 Mountain Bike Trail (South) | Iwen Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (20 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The original mountain biking trail in Fargo! Follow the trail markings and loop in a counter-clockwise direction. North entrance is at Iwen Park boat launch and south entrance is by the lift station at University Dr and 58th Ave.

★★★★★ — Chris , Nov 2020

Amazing buke trail (iwen south) I loved all the nature it had and the trails were perfectly maintained. Perfect ride would recommend my new favorite trail

★★★★★ — Lawrence , May 2021

A great trail for honing your craft and turns and maintaining speed! The volunteer group, FMTB, does an amazing job at keeping this wooded oasis running. Feels like you're not even in town. Be mindful of wet season to not ride/hike and create ruts :)

★★★★★ — Ryan , Apr 2025

Just back to rideable again after flood. Most twisty trail in town. Challenging rock garden built by Fargo Moorhead Trailbuilders.
