Need to Know

There are a few options for parking, including right by the trialhead (west side of the street only).

Description

River Glen is about 1 mile in length between Green Tree Road and Good Hope Road in Glendale, WI.

It is maintained by the Metro Milwaukee Mountain Bikers club. It can be accessed by bike from the Oak Leaf Trail, at the corner of Green Tree & Milwaukee River Parkway, or by the Parkway & Good Hope Road.

The trail itself is relatively flat and easy, curving its way through the woods along the Milwaukee River, and it's great for multiple laps. Towards the earlier start of the trail, a long steep hill brings you down towards the river bank and there are only a couple of technical features to take note of like an optional dirt jump near the river, few logs placed where mud may be prevalent, and a tiny wooden bridge. Close eyes will note that there are a few different forks that can be selected to spice up each lap.
