A scenic landscape featuring rolling hills with golden grass under a clear blue sky. In the background, a dense forest of green and autumn-colored trees borders the horizon. An rustic wooden fencing encloses a central area with a couple of small buildings, including a barn, visible amid the trees. The overall scene conveys a tranquil rural setting. Mueller State Park mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Mueller State Park

****   Add a review
#368 of 1,426 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#3,694 in the world

There are alot of trails here but not all of them are open for biking. Most of the good trails that may have been open for biking are now closed to bikes. The trails are well marked and some small sections of singletrack can be found (but few are open to bikes). Mostly forest road type trails with sections of sandy, gravely terrain and some pretty steep hills. Good camping here though but you're better off driving down to Woodland Park to bike at Rampart Reservior or Lovell Gulch.

    Awesome, fast, downhill run on singletrack for three quarters of a mile. Then a steep third of a mile climb out on narrow singletrack which includes hike a bike sections. Beautiful setting.

    Just a short out and back to see Brook Pond.

    The back half gets too steep for reasonable climbs and requires too much caution with the scree on the overly steep downhills. Realignments needed.

    Fast downhill out. Reasonable climb back. Beautiful mixed conifer forest, and Rock Pond is beautiful also.

    This is one of my favorite rides in Mueller SP. Beautiful forest, interesting history and some of the better riding though never technical.

    There are better trails nearby, but it is a beautiful draw/drainage.

    Nice ride in either direction with some fast downhill and punishing uphill. Geer Pond is beautiful.

    Provides good access to other trails on the west side of the park. Nice scenery.

    You can carry a lot of speed on this downhill run (heading west). The downhill is more than worth the short steep climb out.

    Beautiful loop but the riding is average because much of the trail is doubletrack, two-track and fire roads. There is some good riding along the way though and some really fast downhills and big climbs.

    There are a few fast descents and the climbs are easy to moderate.

    Steep fast moderately wide downhill singletrack. At the bottom turn right on Cahill Pond to continue the downhill.
