Located within Wichita city limits near Pawnee and 143rd East. Local riders describe it as the "Crown Jewel of the Wichita Mountain Biking Scene." Approximately 4.5 miles of crazy tight wooded singletrack, open fields, multiple creek crossings, bridges, concrete slabs, roots, elevated bridge, some jumps, minimal elevation change, hedge-apples, urban artifacts, and bobcats.

There is a gate on the South side of the road just before 143rd. If the gate is open, you may park in there. You may also access the East side of the trail by entering the field 1/8 of a mile East of that gate. You may enter the trail there at the start of the trees.
Summary: This trail is a really fun ride. At first I took a few spills and i felt like I had never ridden before. It's a really good trail with a few sharp drops, all fairly small,and some creek crossings to watch out for. Overall a good trail with something in it for everybody.

Summary: This is a great trail for those who want to get off road and just go have fun on the bike. It's awesome for those who are in training for singletrack racing or for those who are simply trying to decide if they like the dirt.
There are no steep climbs (unless you ride the course backwards as we sometimes do) and there are no sketchy technicals.
The course is about 4.9 miles and is great for timing your laps to see how fast you can go between narrow tree gaps and small creek crossings.
The trail was built and is maintained by the Kansas Singletrack Society (KSS) and is on private property.
All of the usual trail warnings, caveats and etiquette apply... we also ask that if you ride the trail more than three times, you become a member of KSS. For more information, visit: http://www.kssingletrack.com/
Aerobic difficulty is based on the speed you decide to go. This is a great trail for picking your own pace.
Recommended Route: Come in through the metal gate and park in the heart of the meadow. There is a satellite image on the web site, so just follow the arrows.
Wednesday afternoons there is a KSS group ride with riders beginning laps at staggered intervals. Just jump in and follow. :)
