Mountain Biking Rozarks

***   Add a review
#60 of 169 mountain bike trails in Missouri
#4,473 in the world

Urban core natural surface trails for hiking, running, and riding now total over 5 miles in what is called the Rozarks. Currently spread over 3 parks between 39th Street West and Southwest Boulevard near KU Med, plans call for over 12 miles of interconnected trails to be constructed in the area during the next few years. The terrain is similar to other "south of the river" ERTA trails with black dirt and numerous rocky outcroppings. Trails have been compared to Swope Park and Shawnee Mission Red for their technicality and amount of climbing.

    I rode the Rozarks trail at Marty's Mound Park KC Kansas. This trail has some great potential. There are some great rocky challenges, some cool wood plank bridges, and scenic rocky bluffs along the way. My ride was a bit of a challenge as the trail was frost covered. When I got to the other side of the powerline trail and headed towards the bluff trail there was a lot of construction. The hillside had been cleared out of all trees thus taking out parts of the trail. When the development is complete I can only hope that the trail will be repaired. The trail has a nice flow to it and a good use of landscape.

    It's great if you live down town and you want some convenient dirt. Too dis jointed at this time to warrant a higher rating than two stars.
