Mountain Bike Loop Trail – Fort Yargo State Park - Fort Yargo State Park

This popular mountain bike loop travels 12 miles around the park’s perimeter and is best suited for experienced riders. Hikers are discouraged on this trail due to the speed of some bikers. The mostly single-track trail features intermediate climbs and downhills, with views of the lake, wetlands, creeks, a powerline clearing, and wooded ridges. Portions of the trail are bumpy due to roots. Direction travels clockwise on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, switching to counterclockwise on other days. The trail is occasionally used for races and triathlons. Access this trail, which is marked in blue blazes, from the park’s Nature Center. A portion of the pathway is shared with the Lake Loop Trail, so riders must be on the lookout for hikers in the section and give way.
