Black Hill Bike Trail — Attraction in Germantown

My partner and I love Black Hill! We have taken our dog, Zoey, there 3 times this month. There is a dog park at one of the trailheads. Zoey is really energetic and is so much better on the leash if she gets some energy out. It's nice to take her there before we hike.

This trail had varied terrain, from paved, to raised wood planks, to moderate mtb (for this area). None are forced on you, you choose your ride and where you want (or don't...

A Dream....A Pure & Brilliant Dream To Be A Part Of. My lovely wife and I spent our morning here today; enjoying all of what Mother Nature is in all of her Autumn glory. Although it is a wonderful place any time of year; the Fall season is in my opinion, the best time to stroll among the giants as they garnish the path one takes with there colorful leaves. The best time to go is in the early morning. It is an amazing experience...
