At the time he was not a mountain biker, but he saw that the sport showed tremendous potential for individuals and families. As the idea took hold, the park acquired another 700 acres and the push was on to develop a topnotch trail system. Somewhere in there Wally took up biking and can now enjoy the fruits of his labor. You ll find all the trails at Fort Mountain to be well marked and easy to follow. In clear weather expect to see fantastic views and be on the lookout for wildlife.
All trails start and finish at the bikers parking lot and trailhead except the Lake Loop.
The beginner Lake Loop starts out at the swimming beach and encircles the lake. It is very easy and you may want to make it an addition to the Gold Mine Loop. The Goldmine Loop is just over 6 miles long and takes you past an old gold mine pit. It stays atop the mountain for its entirety and is characterized by short rollercoaster-like hills. Expect to complete the loop in an hour or so.
