Confirmed from Rice Creek Singletrack 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 Rice Creek Singletrack Bike Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Looks like the bike trail is beautifully groomed and ready for riders.

★★★★★ — Karen , Sep 2023

Rice creek singletrack is great for beginners. The unmarked side multi-use trails are also nice for additional mileage with a lot of potential; Especially if you head towards it's twin, Sherman singletrack.

★★★★★ — Vong , May 2024

Rice Creek teail is a flowy 1.7 mile loop that connects to Sherman lake loop, another 1.7 mile flowy loop, via user created trails. A 16 mile loop is possible when all trails are rideable. The machine built trails are on sandy soil and typically dry out fast after rain.

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.
