With a few parks already established and new investments underway, Louisville is poised to be a midwest MTB destination city. Did I mention we hosted the Cyclocross World championships? We did.
Dustin Alton Strupp: The most popular mountain bike destination in Louisville. Nice mix of hills and features, with some more technical options for the eager. 5- mile loop, shorter routes and stopping pts available.

Dustin Alton Strupp: Smooth open trail south of Louisville. Rolling hills allow you to get some serious speed if you're up for it. Not as technical as Cherokee, so a good place to start if your new to the sport.

Dustin Alton Strupp: Seneca butts up against Cherokee and you can start in one and access the other (If you know where to do so). Switchbacks and blind turns, with ascents<>descents depending on which direction you go.
Dustin Alton Strupp: Locale of the Cyclocross World Championships. Views of downtown and the Ohio River. With sand mounds and run-ups, not for the faint of heart. | http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/parks/bandman/
Dustin Alton Strupp: MTB park is scheduled for fall. Some short trails are currently available (1-2 miles). You can take a bike out and ride the paved path through the country side (GORGEOUS). http://www.theparklands.org
