Lincoln Parish Park

Review: I was in Shreveport for a few days and decided to make the trip to Ruston and try out this trail. It was very flowy. There were some climbs and descents. Overall it was a ton of fun.

Review: So... I decided to try this trail for the first time on the hottest day of the year on July 21st. I had a job in the area the next day, so I brought my bike along, and I do not regret that! Honestly, I'm not sure where the trail head starts, but I parked by the lake, and rode up the "Tree Trail" and found the "Creek Crossing," and dove right in. This trail is a challenge, especially if you are used to flow trails. A lot more roots, bumps, and climbing switch backs. But with great punishment, comes great rewards, as in long straight declines, and some fun drop offs. The heat killed me that day, I wasn't ready for 102 degrees and 87% humidity, but I had a blast. Will defiantly go out of my way, and try again. Cost 2$ for park entry, that gives you all day access. A nice touch is a bike wash station by the lake that you can hose off your bike, and muddy legs!

Review: Fantastic trail! It gets progressively more steep and technical the further you get, but nothing ridiculous. Quite a few roots, but none that are too huge or crazy. Most of the climbs are very easy/moderate. A few tight switchbacks toward the end. Overall, this trail is very fun. Not too hard, but just hard enough to be fun and interesting.

Similar Trail: Slightly tougher version of Mt. Zion if I had to explain it.

Review: I don't know if it gets much better than this in Louisiana, the trail is fun and beautiful scenery. There is a varying types of terrain with technical, downhills and jumps. Nothing too crazy or advanced, just a good ride. The beginner cuts make it easy to loop around to hit your favorite parts again and again.

Review: Very nice trail. Beautiful scenery. Saw deer and squirrals.

Review: As stated by others, a great trail that includes a shorter loop for beginners. The full loop includes an abundance of roots, climbs, descents and creek crossings. Maybe the best maintained trail I have ridden. In addition to many directional signs there are caution signs before all salty areas. Ignore them at your own peril. The ride gets progressively tougher featuring some nice descents and climbs, including a stretch with a few switchbacks. Big fun!!!

Similar Trail: Tyler State Park

Review: Very easy trail. It's not to bad to ride all of if your a beginner and if you are intermediate you will find it mostly easy. Lots of short climbs. Very well maintained. If your advanced it may disappoint you. The park is clean and well kept.

Review: This trail is absolutely amazing! Today was my first time riding it and I loved the incline and declines. The roots suck but that's my only complaint.

Similar Trail: Monkey trails

 

Review: Trails are awesome! Lots of fun activities to make it a fun day!

Similar Trail: Camp Claiborne in Alexandria

Review: well maintained and feels safe. They worked hard to build this. 5/5

Review: Rode the beginner part of this trail today after being badly disappointed by the trail in Monroe, This is my new favorite trail, The signs along the trail are easy to follow, can't wait to get back out there and check out the advanced portions of the trail.
