Land Owner
River Run is the most technically demanding flow trail in the Platte River State Park Trail System. Drop in from a 2' rock drop into two mandatory (not rollable) step-down gaps followed by large tabletop and step-up jumps.
Riders can session the top jump line that parallels the Platte River Loup Connector by exiting River Run after a left-hand berm and climbing the Platte River Loup Connector.
Riders can also choose the River Run Tech Alternate trail after the initial jump line to mix their River Run experience.
Riders should be very comfortable with the Otoe Coaster and Tomahawk trails and features before progressing to River Run.
Remember to always look at trails and features you haven't ridden before or haven't ridden that day. PRE-RIDE, RE-RIDE, FREE-RIDE!
