A red mountain bike leaning against a tree near a calm river, surrounded by lush green foliage. The scene captures a peaceful outdoor setting, with the water reflecting the greenery and a small sandy area in the foreground. Matthiessen mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Matthiessen

***   Add a review
#32 of 128 mountain bike trails in Illinois
#3,678 in the world

The folks at BikeIV (Bike Illinois Valley) have done a great job building these trails. There is some smooth singletrack and some amazing elevation changes and beautiful views of the river. Some nice roots and rocks throughout the system.

Getting there
Enter Mathiessen State Park at the southern entrance off of route 178. It will be the Vermillion River Area entrance. Look for a sign that says Horse and bike trails. It should be the first or second left. There will be an outhouse there. Park and find the trail head at the woods.
