What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors are consistently impressed by the surprising variety and quality of trails at North Ford Street Mountain Bike Park, noting it offers something for every skill level, from beginner features to advanced jumps. The park is praised for its well-maintained paths and the constant efforts of the CAMBA TN volunteer group. However, a significant drawback is the lack of clear trail maps and signage, which can lead to navigation difficulties.
"Came out to these trails for the first time as we traveled through the area. Wasn’t sure what to expect but the trails surprised us how there was more to ride then we assumed. My 12 year old was thrilled with the many feature options built into the trails so he wasn’t bored, and yet plenty of switchback trails for less experienced adults riding along with him yet still able to get a great work out with the short climbs, fast flowy downhill, berms, jumps, and even some features too advanced for my son - there really is something for everyone. We rode Bentonville AR last week and this is fun like a mini version of the slaughter pen - features for more advanced yet enjoyable for the less than experienced like myself who loves to ride but I don’t feel overwhelmed by techy stuff like I do in Colorado (where we are from). This is truly a fun system for all levels…. It really could use a trail map however. Love the arrows on trees for correct directions but better map at trailhead or mid trail as well would be nice/helpful."

"Great park,bigger than thought. No map?.Not at trail head or online.Signage confusing, no signs for directions back to trailhead."

"Clarksville's only exclusively MTB park. There's a good, quick cardio loop with a handful of fun features and downhill/jump trail. The park even has a beginner friendly trail and sessionable skills features right by the parking lot. The volunteer group, CAMBA TN, is constantly working to maintain and add to the park as well. They even have an upcoming race!"
