Confirmed from Tannery Knobs Mountain Bike 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“The pump track was fun the trails were nice, tools on-site, and for the non-bikers, there were great views to be enjoyed.”

Very cool bike park. We were just traveling through but it was a great way to let off some steam. The pump track was fun the trails were nice, tools on-site, and for the non-bikers, there were great views to be enjoyed.

★★★★★ — Kel , Apr 2022

Awesome mountain bike park with trails for every level! Brought my 14 year old son for his birthday and he said it was the best birthday present ever! The pump trail was especially cool! We drove three hours to visit this place and it didn’t disappoint!

★★★★★ — D , May 2022

Awesome place! Well maintained trails, and cool little pump track for the kids. Trails are rated by color (green/blue/black) like ski slopes based on the difficulty level. Awesome views of the surrounding area from the summit. Several of the trails are also available for hikers and dogs on leashes.

★★★★★ — Jay , Apr 2022

Mountain bike park, it's on the top of the hill and has a beautiful view on the town. There are a few mountains bike trails from easy to very technical. If you want to hike the trails you are more than welcome just be aware you have to yield to bike riders.

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.
