Swanson Park - The Classic
5 Mile Loop
Mountain Biking | Hiking | Trail Running
Ask any local rider where it all started, and they’ll point you to Swanson. This flowy forest loop in Bellevue has been a favorite for decades—mixing climbs, drops, and tight turns that keep your legs honest and your grin wide.
It’s got just enough challenge for the experienced crowd, but still friendly enough for new riders looking to level up. You’ll roll past ravines, swoop through shady trees, punchy climbs, and enough variety to make every ride feel different.

Lewis & Clark – The Legend
5 Mile Loop
Mountain Biking | Hiking | Trail Running
Tucked into the bluffs above the Missouri River, Lewis & Clark is a rollercoaster of climbs, corners, and high-speed flow. It’s the most technical system in the region, loaded with jumps, drops, gaps, and dirt wall rides that reward confidence and control.
The descents here are long and fast, the climbs are punchy and plentiful, and the final climb out is no joke—but you’ll earn every view. With multiple loops and connectors, there’s room to ride your own line and push your limits.
