Confirmed from Tenderfoot 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.

“Its a nice easy trail that is great for the family to hike or mountain bike less tham a mile although ty are adding onto it now which should improve it”

Great beginner MTB trails. Nice and shady and cool near the water, so it's great for escaping the summer time heat. Also a great place to camp and for kids to explore.

★★★★★ — Anna , Jul 2021

Super fun little mountain bike trails in town! Great easy trails for a quick ride!

★★★★★ — Bret , Dec 2021

It's a pretty good biking warmup for kids. But honestly it's really not a " mountain bike" trail. It's only slightly flowy. Not allot going on here. So if your looking for excitement. This is not the spot.

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.

“I love getting to ride real singletrack this close to my house and in town.”
