Oak Rush is a long and winding trail that highlights the depth of the hardwood forests that blankets Southeast Ohio. Whether you like jumps, technical turns, or flowy segments, this trail delivers. As you carve through this deciduous hardwood forest, keep an eye out for trees like Black Walnut, Black Cherry and White Oak.

The Baileys Trail System is composed of purpose-built mountain bike trails that can also accommodate other human-powered uses such as hiking, backpacking, and trail running.

Access Info

Start from the top of Nebo Spirit or connect to the middle of Oak Rush by using Kidwell.
