Summary:
best trails in little rock from best to worst: camp robinson - burns park - boyle park - alsopp park.

in reviewing the posts here its clear to me that either trails have changed over time or people dont know good riding. alsopp park has by far the worst trails in central arkansas, yet the ratings here are 4/5.

if you are in little rock and dont have the time to get to camp robinson then hit burns park (all the loops) or boyle park.

boyle has about 8 miles of singletrack but some sections are separated by paved road. if you havent been there before then get someone to take you and show you the spots. much of the terrain is similar to burns park and the areas that run along side Boyle Park rd are steep, techy and aerobically challenging. if you ride the loops/sections both ways and make different loops you can easily spend 2-3h having a really good time. although boyle park is a bit sketchy i have yet to have any problems there. theres a regular group ride there thurs at 645 - pretty good group of guys and not too fast. burns park has more trails but boyle park aint bad and really should be rated much higher than it is.

Recommended Route:
start at the second parking lot. do a couple loops directly west of the parking lot. then make your way to the blue trail by the main entrance. these maps kinda suck but here you go: www.littlerock.org/Images/.../boyle_park_website_entry_021710_red1.pdf

Summary:
Boyle Park has some surprisingly nice sections of single track hidden out there. There are also some short super twisty sections which are great for harnessing your cornering capabilities. Decent place to ride, but there are much better places in town (Camp Robinson, Burns Park, & Alsopp Park)

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Camp Robinson, Burns Park, Alsopp Park

Summary:
Easy to get to. As tough aerobically as you want to make it. Long, mostly flat runs through the trees. One short loop with long uphill sections. A couple of really good climbs.

Summary:
These trails are not my favorite, but for a mountain bike ride right in the middle of the city, they're not bad at all. I usually ride Boyle in the evenings when I don't have enough time to do a long ride elsewhere. The trails are sort of spread out through the park, so you have to know how to connect between the different sections to put a decent ride together. The largest section is basically a loop that can be ridden fast, and isn't technical. On the other side of the road you can connect to a section that is about a mile long and is quite technical. There are short, steep climbs, with lots of rocks and roots, and it's pretty challenging to ride it in either direction. There's also a nice long downhill section that connects to a newer loop near 36th St. This loop isn't technical, but it's laid out well with a good mix of gentle climbs and short downhill sections. All in all, I think Boyle Park has some nice singletrack if you're looking for a place to go for a quick ride. One other thing that is nice about these trails is that they were built by mountain bikers for mountain bikers, and they make very good use of a limited area.

Recommended Route:
Ride some on the easier trails and then go across the road and ride the more technical trails and then on down to a newer loop that is near 36th St. Then, reverse course and ride it again the other way.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Camp Robinson has by far the best network of mountain bike trails in central Arkansas. Nothing else is even close.

Summary:
Slow, narrow, some rocks and roots. Couple of fair climbs. Nothing technical.

Recommended Route:
It's all the same, tight, low speed stuff. Mainly beginner trails.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Camp Robinson C.A.R.P. or nasty fish trails are better.
