This trail system is an ideal setting for mountain bike racers to test their skills on one of the most technically-demanding courses in the region. Nearly 75 mountain bikers turned out for the event and more are expected for the Second Annual race on September 16, 2000. As mountain biking continues to grow in popularity and as more user conflicts cause trails to be closed to riders nationwide, the Stank emerges as one of the premier places to ride in the Memphis area. The trailhead and parking lot are located on Yale Road just west of Memphis-Arlington Road in Bartlett. Foot traffic is permitted on the trails, but all motorized uses are strictly forbidden.
Trail damage occurs more readily when the trail is muddy.
FEEL FREE to remove small sticks and other dangerous debris if you come across it, but please leave logs in place on the trail. These natural obstacles provide a challenge when riding and will help increase your technical riding skills. DON'T cut the trail. Go around corners the way they were built. Leave no evidence of your use.
