Ridden Trail: Ridden Once

Weekend Warrior Summary: Disappointed..The part of the trail that I rode was good in terms of good climbs and downhills BUT; The trail needs to be maintained better. Brush needs to be cleared and fallen trees blocking the trail need to be moved as well. I rode the first two miles and had to dismount and walk around fallen trees 3 or 4 times. Then there was the problem of ticks. At the last fallen tree, I noticed my left leg was covered in ticks. I was told by one of the park employees to follow the white diamonds. Well, no problem finding white diamonds...they are everywhere!! Parts of the trail were a little confusing to figure out. It would be a big help to make first ride with someone familiar with the trail. Don't bring your dog and take a large can of tick repellant if there is such a thing. Other recommended trails in the same area: Lincoln Parish Park...Awesome!! I ride this trail 5 to 7 times out of a two week period. Well taken care of. James and all the crew of the park work hard at keeping the place up. Great Ride!!

I rode at the end of sept. never got off the bike, hundreds of frikin ticks, Tiny Ticks. Everywhere ticks ticks ticks, A hatchery! What do you do. I would love to ride here again after a good freeze.
Its really a nice park. Pretty woods, nice trails. Mind the parasites

Ridden Trail: Once a month

, from S'port Summary: TCaney Lake is an awesome trail!!! It is pretty well maintained and fun to ride. There are 4 loops, however, one of the loops is closed (ClockWork Orange). The advance rider can ride all three remaining trails for a good workout. The Sugar Cane Trail is a beginner trail... transition to the new-ishh Kona Trail for some intermediate action then on to the Lost Woman for some Advanced technical fun!
Recommended Route: Hook up with someone who knows the trail by joining the clubs listed in the Other Comments section Other recommended trails in the same area: If you want more information of trails in the S'port/Bossier Area Join the La Off-road Cycling Org (LOCO) at:

Ridden Trail: Please Select

, from Bossier,LA Summary: This was my first time on this (or any) trail so remember that when you read this. I rode with a friend that has been on this trail a lot and is a good bit more of an advanced rider than myself. We took the intermediate rte and rode part of the Kona trail. To me the trail seemed sort of hard to follow because it was so covered with leaf litter which also caused traction problems on some of the steeper downhill sections. I believe clockwork orange is still out of commission. If you've never really pushed yourself on a ride don't underestimate the word "intermediate". As far as technical sections there were a lot of little humps and hurtles to be negotiated but only one section that I chickened out on towards the end, other than that the hardest part was the up and down which I was told wasn't really all that hard by other trail standards. To sum up if you haven't been on a bike in 10 years, or you have to think to hard about wether or not you can ride this trail, don't!! Bisteneau is suppose to be a fun trail for beginers.
Recommended Route: clockwise(for right now). Other recommended trails in the same area: I can't recommend anything else right now.

Ridden Trail: Every few months

Reviewed by: Todd
, from Ruston Summary: This was my favorite trail in the area,but not anymore. I lived in S'port for six years and rode it three times a week for 3 years. It is in the worse shape I have ever seen it in. First a tornado took out the best part(clock work orange) and now the trail is almost compleatly over grown. There were a few new trees down on the trail(we moved them)and the weeds are taking the trail over! The park director needs to get their head out of their "point of contact" and have some work done on this once fun trail!!! And to top it all off they have raised the price of admission!!! Untill the trail is reworked don't waste the trip. Oh, and don't let the park ranger catch you with tools to work on the weeds etc. your self. In the past I would have given it a 5, but the ticks, downed trees, and weeds knock it to a 1. Recommended Route: Clock wise, but now? Other recommended trails in the same area: Bodcau is cool, I was pleasently suprised. It is almost like a more flowing Clockwork Orange.
