Mountain Biking Fort Defiance

****   Add a review
#61 of 96 mountain bike trails in Iowa
#8,057 in the world

Trails are located along the bottom of the ravine and along the the outside tops. Extremely gnarly going up or down the steep edges of the raving with softball-soccerball sized rocks everywhere and roots sticking up 8'' or more. Smooth and fun sailing once you're down by the creek, beautiful area with lots of bridges and opportunities to cross by riding through the creek - Fun! Some really unique trees and some bridges are not finished so you get to ramp off them! I recommend for a 30 minute drive. Beautiful park in every season, trails for every skill level, and camping available on site. What it lacks in total miles, Ft. Defiance more than makes up with well maintained technical trails. Trails shared with hikers and horses.
