Trail Information
Bike riders of all abilities can put their skills to the test at the Rampart Reservoir Shoreline Loop. Riders can ride terrain from sand to gravel to rocks and soft forest earth. The trail provides opportunities for fishing and picnicking. It is a local favorite and thus can get crowded on weekends. It’s best that mountain bikers ride the trail in a clockwise direction, so as not to come upon riders unexpectedly around the many tight and rocky curves.
Directions
Take the Rampart Range Road north from Woodland Park (turn off Highway 24 at the McDonald’s). This road will take you past the Woodland Park schools and a portion of Woodland Park’s residential area. Then follow the signs to Rampart Reservoir.
