The Town of Avon offers paved recreational paths around Nottingham Park, along the Eagle River, and throughout town. It also offers dirt single-tracks on the northwest side of town in the West Avon Preserve. The paved pathways and the dirt trails provide opportunities to walk, jog or bike while enjoying the town's mountain landscape.
The Eagle Valley Trail travels through canyon, river edge and valley towns and is a notable amenity for residents and visitors.
The trail provides a safe, non-motorized route for pedestrians and bicyclists through Avon, connecting the town to the nearby communities of Eagle-Vail and Edwards. The design and treatment of the path surface is designed to serve a wide range of age and ability levels.
The Avon Town Council is pleased to share the recent International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) Silver-Level Ride Center Designation. The Vail Valley has long been one of America's favorite recreational destinations and, over the past several years, the valley's communities have been steadily developing top quality single track trails. Avon's West Avon Preserve is one of the most renowned trail systems in the valley. Constructed in 2014, the more than 11 miles of trails are accessible from the town's paved bike paths, and offer a variety of terrain for all ability levels, in the heart of the Vail Valley. The trail system was thoughtfully created in the Preserve, while protecting the natural environment, open space and wildlife qualities of the area.
Avon acquired 478 acres of land in 2013 north of Interstate 70 between the neighborhoods of Wildridge and Singletree. The land Avon acquired was placed in a conservation easement to permanently preserve and protect natural habitat, wildlife and native plant species as well as provide open space for the enjoyment of locals and visitors alike.
The West Avon Preserve is governed by the West Avon Preserve Management Plan, and is included in the Town’s Recreational Trails Master Plan, which outlines plans for improving the quality and quantity of trails. In 2014, the Town of Avon along with several partner organizations worked to form a network of hiking and biking trails. Trails of all levels of difficulty from easy to strenuous wind through this parcel between Singletree and Wildridge. Hiking, biking and horseback riding are allowed uses while motorized vehicle use is not allowed on the West Avon Preserve trails (map). Seasonal trail closures typically occur from November to April. Trails include:
Thank you to: Eagle Valley Land Trust, Eagle County Open Space, United States Forest Service, Town of Avon Citizens, Singletree Property Owners Assoc., Berry Creek Metro District, Mr. John Shipp. A special thanks to the Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association for maintaining the trails.
The PB&J (Pumps, Berms and Jumps) trail-head is across from O'Neal Spur Pocket Park in Wildridge at the intersection of at Old Trail Road and O'Neal Spur. Start by heading towards Beaver Creek across the road. Big in-sloped corners aid in quickly descending tight switchbacks on the way down and also help on the way back up. There are great views of Beaver Creek while traversing the hillside. Playground Way ends on Saddle Ridge trail.
Restroom facilities and water fountain are available and the park is ADA Accessible. Ample parking is available. Use of the shelter is on a first come, first serve basis.
This trail is a straightforward climb to Wildridge with views of Beaver Creek and Avon. The climb begins roughly half way through the Avon Singletree Connector (ASC).
Ride from either June Creek Road in Singletree or the west end of Nottingham Road in Avon. From both directions the trail starts with a climb on single-track to great views of Beaver Creek. It takes about 25 minutes if you find yourself in granny gear.
ASC Trail is closed annually 12/15 to 4/15. Respect trail closures when marked. Use at your own risk.
Lees Way provides beautiful views of Avon and Beaver Creek, but there is no time to take in the beauty as the trail twists and steeply descends towards Avon Singletree Connector (ASC). Enormous in-sloped berms perfectly built toss riders from corner to corner. Lee's Way Down ends on the ASC. This is the perfect conclusion to a long climb up to Wildridge.
Parking available on the end of Nottingham Road. Please do not park in the turn around as this will not allow large trucks to make deliveries.
