Mountain Biking North Ford Street Trails
#41 of 202 mountain bike trails in Tennessee
The Advanced Loop is a combination of hand and machine built trail that utilizes the natural terrain to provide a ride that focuses on reading the trail, and the ability to put down power while exercising some pretty serious bike handling skills. Rocks, drops, banked turns, offset run-ins, and tight turns provide a variety of fun and challenges.

From Riverside Drive, take a left onto Providence, right onto Beech, right onto E St, left onto Ford Street, the entrance to the parking lot is on the left, marked with a large sign. 2470 N Ford St, Clarksville, TN
1st time on it today. It’s a good fun trail. It has both ups and downs, but it’s not a flow trail. It is well benched, but some of the turns are very tight. I went the Saturday direction, none of the climbs were long or difficult. The trail and features are well marked. most features have a bailout if needed. My only complaint is that there are several places where the trees are very close together. But I’m 6’4”+ riding a XXL bike with 810mm handlebars, so I take up a lot of space.
| ThankThis is a very nice trail right in Clarksville. It has been lengthened over the past few years and is well marked and well maintained. I just finished a ride and it took about 45 minutes at a moderate pace. I will definitely look to ride this trail when I visit family in Clarksville. It has a little bit of everything and is fun for novice as well as more advanced riders.
| ThankA good little trail to mountain bike after work. It has a good amount of rock gardens which adds a little challenge. Not really worth driving over an hour for but if you are nearby like me then its a great place to bike.
| ThankI love this trail. My rider level is on the lower end of intermediate, so this trail really tested my skills. Very fun obstacles, switchbacks, rock gardens, all the works. A lot of work has been put into this trail and it definitely shows
| ThankGreat new trail for the Clarksville area. Just off the Greenway if you do not want to go to Ford Street trailhead. I don't like trailhead location (you have to drive through a rough neighborhood).
| ThankTrail is really fast and takes advantage of the terrain with several rocky areas and jumps. Fast and Fun trail!
Great trail, I've put almost 1000 miles on it since I started riding last summer.
| ThankMy favorite trail in the area.
| ThankGood short trail with a big upside once the rest of the trails are completed. The trail has a cool little rock garden and some nice WHOOP-DE-DOOS. In the future I hope they add more jumps and some banked turns. This is a great trail for an after work ride when you don't have a whole day to spend biking.
| ThankWARNING: Biased Review. Consider this more "informational" than a real review. I'm the primary builder on this trail, so ...reader beware, or whatever.
This trail is part of an expanding system in this park. The city has 90 acres of land to work with, and wanted mountain bike trails, so the goal was to use the natural terrain to dictate trail features, not dictate trail features to the terrain.
Climbing is moderate, with varying grades. Turns range from primitive and off camber to large berms, from near impossibly tight, to fast and open.
There are no bridges. Lots of crossings, run-ins, G-outs and fun stuff, but no bridges.
Currently the Loop is 1.5 miles with a .25 mile connector to the parking lot. The loop is directional by day.
An additional .5 mile section of loop will open soon. When completed, the Advanced loop will be 5-6 miles, with a total of 8-9 miles in the park, including the easy and intermediate trails that will be built when the Advanced loop is done.
This park is MTB only, and doesn't allow hiking, horses, or ATVs.
