The trail has several different segments, which are designed for a variety of skill levels of riding. Current trail length is approximately 4.5 miles. However, additional downhill trail segments will be completed in the very near future. Rock Solid Trail Contracting LLC was awarded the construction bid and did an outstanding job creating the trail system. Due to the cultural and environmental sensitive areas within the park, users must abide by all signage and stay on approved trails. In addition to the bike trails, future trail construction projects will include a 3 mile multi use trail and trailhead shelter building.

For Your Safety!

Skiers should be aware that not all trails are groomed and that the trails that are groomed cannot always be groomed on a regular basis. The quality of the groomed trails also varies depending upon available equipment. Even the best groomed trails can be quickly destroyed by heavy traffic.

Skiers should not ski beyond their abilities by taking more advanced/difficult trails or allowing speed to build up beyond their ability to control their descent. Always leave space between you and other skiers and alert others when passing. If you have questions on trail difficulty, talk to office personnel prior to starting your skiing tour.

General Trail Information: Horses are not allowed within County Parks. They are allowed on County Forest property unless otherwise posted. No horses are allowed on the groomed ski trails at Richfield 360. Dogs are allowed on trails if leashed, except for winter groomed trails.

These include: Richfield 360 winter groomed trails; Powers Bluff single-track (year round), and multi-use (winter groomed); Nepco ski trail (winter groomed). All other trails are free.
