Mianus River Park

Average Rating:

(3.87 of 5)

No. of Reviews: 15

This park has a tight network of both fire roads and singletrack. Good for novices and intermediate riders. The Mianus River runs along the east side of the property, so it is hard to get lost. Some climbs, short runs to bomb down, some tech sections. Overall a good workout trail with several interconnected loops. There are some log obstacles which you can find and try. Several carriage roads with singletrack offshoots. (courtesy of www.wmba.org)

Reviewed by: Beantown , Weekend Warrior Summary: Just moved to Stamford area, tried Mianus today. I thought there are trails for all abilities here, you can stay on the main paths for cruising or take the trails and find some very advanced riding. This time of year there are a ton of leaves so makes it even more challenging. Overall it was a fun ride. Keep an eye-out for the walkers and dogs on the main paths.

Reviewed by: jkavounas , Weekend Warrior Summary: Went for a great ride at Mianus Trails yesterday. Couldn't believe how dry it was. But he conditions are in great shape. It was my first ride out from last October and it was creat to see so many log man-made obsticals to try your trials skills on. It was very crowded on the main trails, but as always, few hikers leave the beaten path in Mianus and I found empty single track. The Swamp Trail is in particularly good condition. jk Would you like to Comment? Join MTBR for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Reviewed by: oekizler , Weekend Warrior Summary: Biggest and most versatile trail in the area. Combines both cross country and all-mountain style in different trails. Really tight stuff and technical rock gardens to be found. There is big traffic between hikers, dogs and bikers in the afternoons. I hope the Town & Recreation department won't forbid mountain biking because of the erosion. Would you like to Comment? Join MTBR for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Reviewed by: thefriar , Cross Country Rider Summary: Good ride with some great tech climbs. Good 7-8mile loops that can be done in reverse. I ride here 5-6 times a week (morning and afternoon loops on different bikes), have been noticing some stupid riding i.e. skidding back wheels, braids, unmarked trail riding/creation, and helmetless riders. Respect the park and TREAD LIGHTLY here, stick to the trails and use proper ettiquete, I really don't want riders to lose this park and will let other riders know if something isn't being done right on the trail.

Reviewed by: cmthmn35 , Downhiller Summary: This is a very good trail i ride it alot with some of my friends and we are really good. Also this trail is very difucult because there is alot of rocks in the trail,but some times there big enough to launch off of. If you been bikign for awhile this is the place you might want to check out ,but if you are just starting out don't go there. Recommended Route: I recommend that you stay on the tralis because i was off the trails and i went down a ride down and i wiped out and i was in the hospital for 4 days and out of biking for 6 weeks and i have to buy a new bike cause the bike i had got ruined because of the crash.
