I've pasted by Kheener park for years and didn't realize they had a trail to ride so I was excited to check it out. I mostly ride Cesars Creek trails (advanced) and Harbin Park (intermediate). I was very surprised how good the Kheener Park trail is! This is a great intermediate (almost advanced) track and a great workout!
Similar Products Used: Cesars Creek by the far the hardest and most grueling trail in this area. You have an 8mile route and 12 mile route without repeating. You can easily go 16 miles with only some repeat of trails. It's technical and the hills you climb will crush your legs. It's difficult but it's fun. This trail really has it all. It does have more roots than any other trail I've been to....that's my only drawback.

It is much better now, they put signs on trees for the trail, there is a "main" trail + plenty of sepereate trails that hook up to various areas, there are nice smooth areas, rocky areas, small bridges and twisty technical areas, steep hills, creek crossings, etc. Actually pretty nice and if you keep your eyes open plenty of deer. Customer Service Any and all |

http://westchestercyclery.com/ the folks from westchester cyclery maintain this trail. You get alot of bang for your buck on this trail, alot of hills that you can mix together to make a great work out.There are some features that you won't make every time. the loop I run usually makes a little over 2.5 miles. Put a couple of those together and you feel like you put in an honest work out.
Customer Service take the first right 10 yards, in top of hill after creek turn left on access road turn right on single track in 40yards |

the trail is very soft right now. It is also muddy. It has more options than harbin park. It is the first time I have riden here, so I need to ride more to see how long the trails are. I rode the outside up to the powerlines into the back of the park. then down into the creek area. It was about 3 miles. See it is only 10 min from my house. It was not a bad trail. It is very hilly.

I guess I'd call this my "home" trail since it is about 5 minutes away from my office. It isn't the best trail in the area, but for a quick ride after work it can't be beat. Some light maintenance work has been done recently and a couple of spots that were unridable are no longer a problem. It is surprisingly technical for the area, including one climb near the beginning that I've only seen one person make. Overall, it has a nice balance of climbs, downhills, and flats. The biggest downside is that it is poorly marked. Customer Service As listed in previous reviews, the trailhead is past the tennis courts and marked with a sign along the treeline.

I previously reviewed this trail (see below). While I still feel that this trail is good for proximity to West Chester, Liberty Township, and Mason, etc, it is not as well maintained as it once was. The trail still offers a good workout and keeps the rider on their toes (albeit, it is a bit short - just ride it multiple times!) Many of the bridges are broken out as a result of wood that has decayed. The synthetic (high impact plastic) bridges are still in good repair. Root exposure is still minimal and I hope it stays that way. Riders can help prevent root exposure by not riding in muddy conditions. The directional signs seem to be placed differently every time I go here. This is probably the result of pranksters and declining trail maintenance. Cyclists, please stay off of trails that you know are for hikers only!! I do not want to lose the privelage of using this trail.

For a local trail this was a good find for me. It is just technical enough to keep you on your toes. Some good singletrack here. A few good short climbs that will get the heart going and push the anaerobic aspect of this ride. PLEASE respect the rules and do not ride on the hiking trails. The West Chester Park Board will make this trail unavailable to cyclist if the rules are not respected. The owner of West Chester Cyclery does a good job in helping to maintain this trail. This trail is much better than Landen park Customer Service Start about 200 yard behind the tennis courts. There is a sign there showing the beginning of the trail. Rules are posted Similar Products Used: Tower Park, Caesars Creek, Hueston Woods |

This trail was recently opened to riders. It has a lot of singletrack. The riding is sometimes muddy, even if it hasn't rained in a while. There are about 8-10 miles of trails combined, although you easily can repeat a trail and not even realize it. Would not recommend st a first time mountian biker. Customer Service The trailhead by the tennis courts Similar Products Used: Ceasar's Creek, if you don't mind a 45 minute to an hour drive. |

It's nice but needs to be a little longer. It is very scenic. The hiking trails have better hills and toughness levels. Only for skilled riders. Nobody cares, except the police, if you ride on the trails or not. I give the bike trail a 2, and the hiking trails a 5. Customer Service Trailhead by tennis courts.

There are many revines with little ups and downs. Makes it kind of technical. Connects with the hiking trails. Your not supposed to ride there, but i have before when biking was allowed. If you mind the risk its pretty fun. Gets muddy in lower sections, and stays that way for a while after a long rain. But I like the mud so its your call. This trail is kind of short but you can still get lost if your not careful. Its a nice trail for an urban area. Have Fun. Customer Service Behind tennis courts. Make a loop come back.
