Swedetown Trails

Swedetown has more than 25 miles of single track ideal for cross country riders. Most trails are flowy, with some technical areas worked in just for fun! See swedetowntrails.org for maps and details. Last summer, Swedetown added a new two-mile beginner trail and started an improvement plan for existing loops.
