Pedal... Landen Deerfield Park.

Park sign off of Montgomery Rd.

Located in the middle of a neighborhood, Landen Deerfield park is a well hidden mountain bike trail. From Montgomery Rd. the most noticeable feature of the park is the ball fields. Once arriving, this looks like your typical sports complex type park. Once looking a little deeper though, you will find an amazing trail that stays pretty hidden.

The trail head is near a shelter house at the back of the park, which is directly beside the power lines that cross the park. Also at the shelter, there is a sign with trail information. Behind the shelter is where you enter the woods.


Once on the trail, try to follow the blue blazes on the trees. The trail is not marked as well as it could be, but it is pretty straight forward and easy to follow. Just follow the most worn down trail, and you will ride the entire loop.


Total mileage for the loop is close to 3 miles, but it is interesting enough to ride multiple loops with interesting creek crossings, tight single track, a few interesting climbs, and a fun rock garden. My favorite part of this trail is that you do not need to load up with tools and gear, as you are just a short walk to your car if you have an issue. Just grab a water bottle and ride!

The park is off of Montgomery Rd. not too far past Field's Ertl Rd. Easy access from I71. Address:
