All the fun This descending-only green circle trail flows downhill for almost a mile, with plenty of twists and turns that will have you laughing out loud. The final bermed turns are particularly enjoyable as you float through the immense ferns and tall evergreens. How many laps can you do?
Ride in control at all times, we're all outside, hoping to enjoy ourselves! Do not ride soil trails when they are wet, the damage can be difficult and costly to repair. The site has several improved-surface trails that can handle the rain so ride them when the other trails are muddy.
Metro parks do not allow dogs because unfortunately our canine friends are perceived as predators; impacting wildlife behavior, nesting, and feeding patterns. Please leave your pooch at home when riding at Newell Creek Canyon Nature Park. Thank you!
