Make this a summer of speed & adventure, go mountain biking
If this is going to be your summer of fun or summer of adventure and exploring or trying new and exciting things, then maybe it is time for you to give mountain biking a go. This activity is for novice and experienced riders alike with trails to fit any skill level.
There are two parks within Butler County that provide miles of mountain biking trails each unique and challenging in their own ways.
Alameda Park in Butler Township provides 31 different trails that can be trekked via mountain bike, ranging from extremely difficult to beginner level.
Lance Welliver, director of Butler County Parks and Recreation, said the 14 miles of trail at Alameda Park “get a tremendous amount of use,” which is consistent throughout the entire year.
“We get a lot who do come to ride the beginner levels, some come from Pittsburgh and some come for the harder trails,” Welliver said. “They are really here all year round.”
