Description

The Millsite Trail provides the eastern and northern perimeter route through the most densely forested part of this park. Much of the lower half of the trail tracks along the creek and is a pleasantly shady place.

This trail is bi-directional and multiuse. A majority of riders use it as the quickest way to the top but it's also a fun downhill. Just be prepared to yield to uphill riders and hikers.

The tread is very accommodating and there are few technical challenges, but it is designated as an intermediate trail. While it is only an average grade of 6.4%, there are some punchy sections and climbing corners that will add to your workout.

Be sure to check out the short overlook spur trail that gives a birds eye view of Missouri Canyon about three-quarters of the way up.

Chill climbing. Tons of shade. Really pleasant north facing forest. Really pleasant place to ride a bike.
