Sheehan Park
Open to public / Free to use
Sheehan Park’s mountain bike trails consist of a three-mile loop through the southern part of the park. The trails include a green beginner/novice loop with tight turns over a humped prairie and some sections winding thru small forests. This widely mown singletrack loop is suitable for mountain bikes, cyclocross riding, and push bikes.

The trail is accessible via the south side of Sheehan Park. We recommend parking in the lot near the baseball fields and skate park off of S. Ball St, though you could park in any of the park lots and ride over. From the south parking lot, follow the dirt/grass trail over to the start of the loop. There is a large stone trailhead.
