Off-Road: East Fork State Park

Over the Labor Day weekend, I took the family up to Cincinnati to visit my sister and her family. I love spending time in that area bucause of it's rich history and the variation from one small community to anotner. Most of the weekend was family catch-up time and tons of enjoyment with all the kids, but Sunday was play day.

My brother-in-law and I got up early and grabbed our bikes. He had recently bought some new bikes for his family to ride on a wicked 10 mile bike trail created by the city that started at the end of their neighborhood. Considering a new mountain bike, we decided to head over to East Fork State Park to check out their trails and ease him into trail riding.

East Fork State Parks consists of three very well maintained trails that offer contrasting conditions. There are two 4 mile trails that offer beginner and moderate levels of biking, and another loop that offers more experienced conditions. The area gets used heavily and quite busy by mid-morning, so get there early. These trails won't disappoint.
