About This Trail

Imported description

There are a number of mountain bike trails that are part of the Forebay trail system. You can follow the Cow Bones trail from the gravel parking lot to the Lovers Lane trail or you can follow the Trotter trail up the hill. Trotter can connect to Round Top with good views of the surrounding area. The way to follow the favorite trail is to take the overlook trail south and follow it back to the meadow. A great set of trails for mountain bikers. It's also good for a good hike, run, or walk, but a little circuitous for hiking and running, but still a great trail system to explore. The majority of the area is owned by Payson City.
