We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of SIUE Mountain Bike Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 SIUE Mountain Bike Trailhead
Quiet, secluded hiking and biking trails. Like others have said, one of the last places in Eville to take your dog off leash and be immersed in nature. Spider webs can be a bit annoying but part of the fun in this set of woods is feeling like you’re a part of it all.
Out of area rider, twisty, tight, hard packed single track, not very well kept, fun for a beginner or advanced great intro to GORC riding without the intense hill climbs! Only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because it wasn't maintained like it should be.
I run the trails, most of the time the Korte Stsdium - cabin loop. Great surface variety of ups and downs. Good wildlife. Can be mushy when there is rain.
Overall great little trail system but it feels like it's laid out in kind of a random way, like someone shook up a bunch of trails in a cup and then dumped them in the woods. I would much prefer marked loops but no biggie. All in all we are lucky to have it! Also, watch out for the locus trees!
