Z Trail is for those who love to test their slow speed balance and technical skills. As the hardest route in Hanna Park, you'll have the book thrown at you.

Tight, twisty sections of singletrack mixed in with quick, punch climbs and descents....this is what you'll find throughout this loop that runs inside of South Loop - Hanna Park

The trail is directional and is ridden clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the day of the week. It crosses a park road in a couple places, it merges with a green, multi-use trail in one spot and it has a very tight switchback/double-back section at the southern end that can confuse the first time rider.
There are a few bridges and lots of roots to negotiate. There's one tricky wooden feature/bridge concoction that may force a new rider to get off and walk the bike. The bridge is fine, but the wooden feature extending from it doesn't merge naturally with the flow of the trail or the bridge. Most of the trail is tightly packed and smooth, but some portions are sandy and will slow the ride.

Access Info

A fee is required to enter the park.
