Known affectionately to local riders as “the dump” or “the bog,” the trails at Rolland F. Perry City Forest and Walden-Parke Preserve are a hidden surprise.
This mountain bike network winds through towering spruce and pine trees, past pristine ponds, along narrow rocky ridges just a 5 minute drive from a Starbuck’s latte.
The easiest way to access the trails is to park at the end of Kittridge Road, just off Hogan Road. There you’ll see a field resembling a half dome—literally the capped former city dump. Over this sloping hill you pass birdhouses where red winged black birds fly about and down past an iconic beaver dam leading to the trail network.
