Great Parks Alert

During construction of the skills loop, the entrance to the 'A' loop of the Mitchell Memorial Forest mountain bike trails has been moved to the southwest corner of the parking lot.

Home to Hamilton County’s first official mountain bike trail.

Mitchell Memorial Forest was the country home of William Morris Mitchell, who developed a deep love for nature and gifted his family's land to Great Parks in 1974. His vision of a lush, thriving forest was realized 40 years later thanks to the legacy and funding he left behind. Today it serves as a hiking, fishing and mountain biking destination.
