Finch Park Mountain Bike Trails
The Finch Park mountain bike trail is a winding trail that follows a section of Abbott’s Creek. The trail includes a .5 mile beginner loop that can be ridden independently, or as a part of a larger 1.5-mile intermediate loop. The beginner loop is designed for bikers who are looking for an introduction to unpaved trails and is made up of two distinct sections. The creekside section is a beautiful winding trail with few obstacles that follows a section of Abbott’s Creek, while the second half of the loop consists of a series of gentle hills, rollers, and berms that ebb and flow through the woodland forest. Phase 2 of trail improvements will increase the trail to nearly 4 miles.
