      At about a half mile by a quarter mile in size, Beulah Park in Zion, Illinois would seem like a typical city park. But hidden within the woods is a web of trails running through the ravine (Kellogg Ravine) along a small creek (Kellogg Creek). For decades these trails have sort of been adopted (and in some cases created) by local mountain bikers and BMXers drawn to this park by the terrain of the ravine. In 2013, the mountain bike trails in Beulah Park became "official" and are now managed by CAMBr (Chicago Area Mountain Bikers).

      During the peak riding season, workdays are held on Wednesday evenings and Saturday Mornings. As daylight fades, workdays typically are only scheduled on Saturday mornings. Anyone is welcome to help build and add trails.
