ALUM CREEK
The Alum Creek State Park Mountain Bike Trail System spans over 20 miles of natural-surface singletrack and adaptive trails in Delaware County, Ohio.
Phase 1 (P1): A ~5.5 to 5.9-mile moderate/beginner-friendly loop featuring non-low roots, armor-paved wet spots, and boardwalks. It is strictly directional by day of the week (ridden clockwise on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays; counterclockwise on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays).
Phase 2 (P2): A ~5.5 to 6.5-mile difficult/advanced loop located on the east side of the Alum Creek Reservoir (parking off Africa Road). Ridden counterclockwise, it features tight technical climbs, log piles, root sections, and narrow wooden bridges ("skinnies").
Gnomewood Skills Park & Beginner Loop: A 2.4-mile beginner focused area ideal for practicing handling and building foundational skills.
Adaptive & Connector Trails: Recent expansions added 4 miles of adaptive-friendly and connecting singletrack, including the Boneyard Trail, Roll Model Loop, and Shredwalk Trail, linking the greater network for riders of all abilities.
Other Loops: Includes routes like the Freedom Flow Loop (3.5 mi, easy), Liberty Line Loop (2.3 mi, easy), and Heritage of Freedom Trail (0.7 mi, easy).
