Confirmed from Old Post 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 Old Post Mountain Bike Trail
“The trails are well marked with signs and maps at the trail intersections.”
This park is an amazing place to mountain bike, hike, bring your pet and kids. The location is situated right next to the Arkansas River that has multiple miles worth of various skill, level mountain bike trails, and soccer fields and a playground you can tell has been well-maintained.
Old Post Trail is a great place to enjoy some well-built and maintained single-track trails for mountain biking or hiking/running. Old Post Trail is maintained by the River Valley Ozarks Offroad Cyclists, a non-profit volunteer group in cooperation with the US Army Corps of Engineers. The trail is approximately 8.
Nice trail system if you are looking for a easy recovery ride or wanting to get some intervals in.
The trails themselves are pretty good multiuse single track. There are a couple of small features for bikers. Slightly technical, but still very runnable. They hold a little water after hard rains though very few soft spots.
