High Ground Bike Preserve
The High Ground Bike Preserve includes 8.25 miles of mountain bike trails behind the baseball field in Morse Park, a skills loop for intermediate riders and bicycle playground for kids near the Lampo Building.
The project has been a work in progress since December of 2019. Our goal is to reach 10 miles of trail. This trail is also available for walks, runs and even just a stroll.
