A winding dirt path through a grassy field, surrounded by shrubs and low plants, with mountains in the background topped by patches of snow. A person riding a bike can be seen in the distance, flanked by coniferous trees. The scene captures a tranquil outdoor landscape. Peninsula Loop mountain bike trail.

It is a short but not that well maintained single track there are many different trails that you can ride on in the peninsula and if you keep following one or keep following the signs you will find hard and easy trails that are clearly marked. There are a lot of trails that start out as double track but end up in a challenging single track.

    I rode the Frisco Peninsula Lakeshore Loop with the beginners in the family, and had a great time! The trail is an easy 6 mile singletrack with very little climbing. There are spectacular views of Dillon Reservoir and the snow capped peaks in every direction. There are enough obstacles to challenge a beginner, a little. I rate this as a 5-star green -> it's definitely a green trail, the beginners in the family loved it, and the scenery is far better than any other beginner's trails I've been on.

    Easy/flat six mile singletrack loop around Dillon Reservoir, with just enough rocks to keep a beginner on their toes. The trail goes in and out of the trees. The views are spectacular in every direction.

    This is a mostly unremarkable trail by Summit County standards. The descents aren't much to speak of and the only technical bits are provided by seemingly incessant baby heads on parts of the trail and powdery off-camber turns on other parts of the trail. The scenery is, of course, nice, but other area trails excel further in this area as well. This is just a basic trail who's greatest asset is it's easy access from the town of Frisco.
