The Issaqueena trail system offers approximately 40 miles of diverse single-track and fire roads for mountain biking, hiking/running, and horseback riding. The trails on the southern section offer a more demanding riding experience with punchy climbs and often tight and twisty single track. The area on the northern side, above the East Dam Road, offers everything from fire road climbs, fun descents, and more cross-country oriented trails
