The DNR and the Shepherds of Griffin Bike Park recently celebrated the opening of several new mountain bike trails at Griffin Bike Park in Vigo County.
The 5.75 miles of new trail were constructed by the Shepherds of Griffin Bike Park, Inc. with help from a $554,241 Next Level Trails (NLT) grant. The three new mountain bike trails, including the Buffaloes, Lake Loop, and the Foxtrot trails, add to the 8.75 miles of trail at the park that opened last year.
The most recent trail openings include a connection to camping facilities at nearby Fowler Park and 4.5 miles of adaptive mountain bike trail designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. The project also includes several miles of single-track mountain bike trails for intermediate to expert riders, as well as trailhead facilities with drinking water and restrooms.
