Switchgrass Mountain Bike Trails — Attraction in Kansas

My formative mtb years were in the PNW, round rocks, slippery roots, steep ups and downs, including trail building with IMBA. Since hitting the road as a full time RVr I've enjoyed trails in the SW, and as we cross this country now KS.

Wow, these are wonderful trails with a variety of challenges from beginner up to black diamond, although those moments are very sparse. Beyond your capability, just walk a bit. Dropper post, FS, and 29r's will do well here.

Ended up the temps just dropped making it perfect, upper 60's to mid 70's. I'm thinking the Summer is too hot. October would be perfect.

What a gem. Look out for the wildlife on the trail. I found a small turtle smack dab in the middle of the trail that from a distance look...

AMAZING.

I got here at sunset to check it out before the next day and the views were stunning. I couldn’t believe that there was NO SOUND AT ALL. NONE. When I closed my eyes I thought I was dead that’s how quiet it was.

Came back next day and couldn’t bike (original intention) too much ice and snow. So i hiked it and I was not disappointed. I kept thinking how nice of a trail it would to ride but it’s ok. another trip.

saw all sorts of animal trails and had fun on FB with friends trying to guess what they were.

I WILL MOST DEFINITELY COME BACK IN WARMER TIMES TO BIKE THIS and that’s saying a lot because i live in NJ.

even my dinosaur had a great time. fb: danzig...

This particular area of Wilson State Park is absolutely incredible! Multiple singletrack trails of varying skill levels, plenty of normal biking and ebiking opportunities as well, such as taking a loop of the lake with trips over the Hell Creek bridge and the Dam. Some of the camping spots in the area have electricity and a private walk down to a small but sensational Beach. Park your bike and take a quick hike on the Dakota trail, or sneak down to the old dock and cove behind the marina. This place is worth a multi night stay alas, I was only able to do an overnighter....
