      Located 15 minutes from downtown and 5 minutes from I-75. The trails are not just for bikes though, they are for all self propelled activities.
      The project was hatched in 2004. After four years of approval process, ground broke in 2008. (Soo Nice!) As of 2024, 14 miles (and counting) have been constructed. Trails are a mix of flowy-pumpy-jumpy bmx-ish sweetness with some tight and twisties mixed in. Some rock features, albeit small in the grand scheme of rock features dot the system. A couple of 3/4+ mile, 200+ vertical foot descent/climbs can be found. The topography of Devou Park allows it to be home to some of the longest climbs/descents in the region. All trails but one are two way. Devou Park is quickly becoming a regional destination for self propelled activities. See you on the trails!

      Access Info:
      The Large Gravel lot off of Sleepy Hollow while put you in the middle of it all with the most amount of parking. Other parking areas include but not limited too; The corner of Montague and Amsterdam, The bottom of Montague near the Sleepy Hollow Trail head and the Overlook at the top of the park. Montague road bisects the park and there is parking at either end. There is parking at the welcome center. There is a restaurant/bar, restrooms and a bike repair stand there. There are many other parking areas in the park. Too many to mention. I have mentioned the parking areas nearest the trailheads.
