Confirmed from UWF Bike Trails' 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.
Network of well-maintained natural-surface trails for hiking, biking, and running in a wooded area.

This is a scenic area to go hiking or biking. We went hiking, but the trails would be awesome for mountain bikers. We really liked the boardwalk nature trail by the main university campus. The Magnolia trees located there were the largest I have ever seen. One of the trails takes you to a lagoon area.
Great MTB trails. 22 miles total with half on each side of the road. The side with the parking lot is a mixed loop of xc and some fun downhills. On the other side of the road is the games loop. It has normal xc trail and also an area with jump lines and wooden features
First mountain bike trails I ever rode on. Lots of wood features and fun stuff on the no-parking side of the rode. The side you park on has significantly longer trails but no man-made features that I've seen.
Let's face it... it's Florida.. flat and boring but these trails make it tolerable. Best trails in the Northwest part of the State.
