SaveFranke Park is the go-to mountain biking destination for the residents of Fort Wayne There may not be any black-diamond trails, but the ones it does have are fast and flowy - making them awesome at high speeds! Some of the trails are a bit rooted, but they are still great riding and the best trails around!
Franke Park is comprised of three easy green loops, West, Middle and East with harder trails branching off from the green loops. These harder trails will frequently finish close to where they started so you can ride as much trail as possible!
