I don't know that I have a favorite ride. However, I dearly love Ballard Trail. Tough, lots of rocks, roots, hanging off your back wheel, etc. Mossy Rock is often used to climb as is the double track Hoffman Hollow. Most others are better ridden down. You can ride up Middle Ridge Rd., hit Middle Ridge Trail and access the trail you want to ride down, then loop back around, up Middle Ridge Rd. again and down another.

Good place to ride outside of Charleston, WV. May need to be shown around the first few rides.
| ThankThe trail system at KSF has continued to grow with at least 20 miles of trail and 1000ft of Elevation. Trails for all skill levels including technical rock sections and drops and difficult downhills.
| ThankTHIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES I LEARNED TO RIDE AS A YOUNG TEEN. ITS A GREAT PLACE FOR BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED RIDERS. IT DESERVES AN INTERMEDIATE RATING AT BEST. WELCOME TO WILD AND WONDERFUL WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN BIKING LOL
| ThankPure, unadulterated, West Virginia- Appalachian hillside mountain biking. Whether you want to burn calories circling the park on fire road/dual track, are seeking the flow (check out Middle Ridge trail!), or want to challenge gravity head on (Black Bear); you can't get any better riding for the area. Sure it's rocky, rooty as all get out, and at times muddy; but again it's an Appalachian forest. Don't be scared of it, just ride it. If you're in the area do not pass up this gem.
| Thank"I have ridden all over the East Coast and this is not an intermediate trail, it's certainly more advanced. " Sorry man but this is where locals cut their teeth in the sport. I'm learning now that I moved away to VA that it is considerably more advanced than what's here. But, man KSF is pure unadulterated WV hillside and ridge riding. Short of going to east coast well groomed nearly level city parks, you're not going to find much easier. This is just simply West by God Single track. Love it, and eat it up.
| ThankRode Polly,Beech Glen,and of course took Wildcat Ridge trail off the ridge....as the other two are a one way climb. Trails were open,with the exception of a tree across Beech Glen trail, and the WV roots and rocks that always kicks the level of riding up......especially wet and muddy !
| ThankIt was a nice place but u really have to go to the top of the fire trail (about 3miles uphill) before u can enjoy the single track trails. Other then that, it a great workout
| ThankA great mix for all riders but mostly tailored to intermediate to advanced riders. I love almost every trail for different reasons. Camp grounds on sight for out of towners to make a full day of it. Also a public pool is inside the park for cooling off. Overall a great setup!!
| ThankThere are several hours of trails to ride here. Most of the ones I rode were very good. Tere are seveeral dificulties for everyone.
| Thank
