Reagan Park
22 reviews

The park is 316 acres but filled with ball fields. Using the limited land and every inch of the wooded areas of the park; the guys that cut this trail made it a challenge for all. It has been a hidden gem for several years but is gaining popularity (dont screw it up). It is tough to peace together, made up of wooded sections between ball fields - If you can find someone who knows the entire loop you are in for a sweet ride. There are no huge hill climbs because the park is basically located in the citybutthere are some very short, steep descents. At the end of one of the steepest hills is a killer tabletop jump followed by a 2-3 ft drop into a creek. On the backside there is a section of log crossing that will wear down most riders. There is a section towards Reagan Parkway that contains some nice switchbacks and a fun, long, hilly, whop-to-do section. There are also several small rocky sections, some tight technical trail, many creek crossings, short steep behind-the-seat drops, roots and several jumps. Mix up the sections, ride it backwards for a new challengethis loop has it allbut lacks any huge climbs.
There is no one main trailhead; it depends on where you enter the park.
Get yourself to Medina, the main park entrance is off of St Route 3 (Weymouth Road), dont park there, go several hundred feet to the light and take the service entrance. There is a parking lot at the bottom of the hill by the baseball field/RC race track, or follow the road up the next hill, past the service garage and park down the hill by the soccer fields. You are now surrounded by the trails and several trailheads. You can also access the park through a new back entrance off of Reagan Parkway, which connects route 3 with route 42.
Summary: Pretty bad ass. I have ridden all three trails, and really love Reagan trail. Its fast and has curves. It only gets better with time. Very few technical parts, so its fairly easy riding. But for the 20 min drive to get there, its fantastic. I would, and have, riding this trail when ever you get the chance. I would ride Hoffman trail to get a good taste of what the park is all about. Then take a right when done with it and head for the River or Reagan trail. Took about 2 hours to ride the whole park once. Stopped alot and shot the sht with friends and people riding by.

Summary: If you live within an hour or so of Medina, this place is definitely worth the trip. It's super short, so expect to do a few laps, but there's just enough variety to keep you from getting bored. This year's re-routes definitely help avoid head-ons with other riders. Larry and the rest of the trail building team are doing a great job, so make sure you thank them when you see them.
Recommended Route: I always start on the Huffman side and do a lap there before heading to Reagan. Start by the restroom and go around the whole park counter-clockwise. When you come out the far end of the river trail, head up through the field, cross Reagan Parkway and you'll see the paved path leading into the park. The real trail entrance is on the left just past the fence.
Other recommended trails in the same area: Findley State Park- faster, longer, a little more technical

Summary: Extremely fun trail, not very technicle but plently to keep you on your toes, not super fast, but quick rolling and will test your cornering skills, plenty of fun stuff like rolls, and a couple of small drops, many roots and ruts also make things interesting. Even though the trail doesnt excell at anything specifically it is a great overall trail with a little bit of everything. I was easily able to complete the loop twice on my brothers first bike which is too small of me (its a crappy Triax PK7, a 100 dollar walmart bike). Its tons of fun and a weekly trip for me :)
Recommended Route: i entered at the service enterance by the skate park/ RC track, and started my ride on the right side of the road that leads to the parking lot.

Summary: I ride this trail all the time and it is agem. I live about ten miles from it and go all the time. The old section of reagan park is wonderful tight, and twisty best describes it. The newer section across from old reagan park is sweet. Riding by the river is a nice touch although it takes longer to dry after a rain. To me some of the coolest parts of this trail is the connector from the soccer fields to the newer part and reagan park. This trail is definetly worth checking out. Because there aren't alot big climbs you should have energy to do it a couple times if you want a tougher ride.
Recommended Route: Start at the soccer fields and hit up the trail there and head for the connector over to the newer section, marked by the orange cone, then go over to old reagan. finish that then make your way back to the fields or loop it again.

Summary: This was my first time on the trail, and my first time on decent trails in general, and it was astounding! We met some people that were working on part of the trail, putting in a bunch of cut pieces of tree (face-up) to ride over a muddy area. We stopped and spoke with them for a while, apparently they are the ones that pioneered the whole area. Very nice people!
Trail was excellent, there are a few muddy uphills that you have to maneuver through, but otherwise it's great. Perfect for beginning amateurs to take things slow, and great for experienced riders who like to take things fast.
There are plenty of uphills to get your legs working, but the downhills do not leave much room to go fast, since it's in a wooded area.
Overall, this is a highly recommended trail, try it at least once!!
Recommended Route: Park at the soccer fields near the intersection of Rt 3 and Huffman Rd. Ride the gravel road behind the picnic pavilion, and you'll soon see the beginning of the singletrack to the right. When this singletrack ends, turn right onto the gravel road, and follow it along the edge of the woods around and to the right of the soccer fields. When this road ends at a wire fence, look for the entrance back into the woods at the right end of the fence. Follow this trail until it dumps you onto a major road, which is Rt 3. Turn right onto the shoulder of Rt 3, and cross the bridge over the river. Just at the end of the guardrail, turn right back into the woods, and continue following the signs for the trail. It will eventually lead you into a small open field, and to Reagan Parkway. Cross Reagan Parkway onto the paved path, and just at the top of a little rise with 3 posts, you'll see where the trail crosses the path. This trail is a complete loop, and will spit you back where you started. (stole this!)
