Seminole Mountain Bike Trail is purpose built single-track trail within a Dane County Park.

This trail was designed for beginner to intermediate riders but is also a fun warm-up ride for Quarry Ridge which is connected by a commuter path only a mile away.

The outer loop is an easy beginner loop with some fun rollers and berms. The inner loop will make the intermediate come back for more with plenty of machine built rollers, berms, small drops and rock gardens

**Snow Biking is very popular at this trail system!

Total mileage is just over 2 miles

Access to the trail is from the Cap City Trail. If traveling by car it is from Dawley Bike Hub on Seminole Hwy where a shelter containing restrooms and water are available.

Please be aware a Dane County Mountain Bike trail pass is required to ride these trails. Also all dogs should be on leash.
