If you are looking for a great mountain bike trail in the Omaha area,CalvinCrest is the place to be. This trail that runs about 4.5 miles, just opened this August and after doing the trail once, it has become my favorite trail. It has a little bit of everything for every rider. There are many dips and sharp turns that require a little more skill, but the pretty smooth ride between the forest is just right for novice riders. Calvin Crest is located just outside of Fremont, NE (which is about 20 minutes from Omaha) on the edge of the Platte River. There is actually a point on the ride when you are riding right next to the river. It is a little tricky getting there and finding the trailhead, but once you are on the trail, it is very easy to follow.
The coolest part about the trail is the suspension bridge toward the end of the trail. I highly doubt any trail in Omaha has the same feature, but what a rush to ride on a moving bridge with a little creek underneath.
Check out some of the pictures from the ride! See you out there!!
