Primitive trailhead with access to Illinois River area.
From Walden. Drive south on Hwy 125 passing through the small town of Rand. Approximately 2 miles past Rand turn left on County Road 21. Drive approximately 4 miles to the intersection of Forest Road 740 and 750. Take the left hand fork following the 740 Road approximately 4miles to the intersection with the 740 and the 758 Forest Roads. Take the right hand turn following the 758 road approximately 5 miles to the Jack Park Trailhead on Road 758.1A.
Great single track trail. So glad they opened it back up to dirt bikes! If you ride the 'loop' of Jack's to pipeline to Foresters back to Jack's it is about 20.6 miles round trip from the lower trailhead parking lot. There can be heavy traffic on nice days so be aware and don't ride so fast you can't stop safely. Be courteous to those on foot or pedaling!
Once you get to the top the drive is very much worth it! I also highly recommend that no new drivers drive up this on their own. Definitely want to have an experienced driver.
Pretty great trail with beautiful scenic view. It not hard like other trail I been to but still need to take caution as soom area have loose gravel.
Really enjoyed this trail and the drive there is absolutely incredible!
It’s fairly steep and has lots of loose gravel so wear grippy shoes and I don’t recommend it for children or small dogs.
The path is also shared with motorcycles and horses so be aware around blind turns.
I hope to return to this trail with a bike.
A great single track trail cutting up and down the backside of Cheyenne and Almagra with beautiful views. This trail is open for all (hikers, mountain bikers, dirtbikes, etc.) So be sure to keep an eye out and respect the rules of the trail. If on bikes, there are some technical sections so this is definitely not a beginners trail.
