The easiest way to find the single track trail is to park by the I-94 bridge and go to the east side of River Road where the single track climbs up switchbacks along the north and south sides of the I-94 bridge. the north side does a loop with several options above Pioneer Park, while the south side does a loop along the north and west ends of the BSC Bowl. You can also park at Pioneer Park and ride the paved trail up the hill to just past the bench and the single track takes off from the pavement around the knob below the big boulder. Or you can park up on top at the scenic overlook and ride down the paved trail to the same spot by the bench/boulder. This is one of the most scenic mt. bike/hiking/running trails in the state, a real jewel when you consider it is right in town.

If you start going up the paved road you will see one of the trails to the left going straight up the hill. It's been a while since I've been on those trails, but there are a few spots to the right of the paved trail that will allow access to the mountain bike trail. It’s on the east side of river road.
