Thanks for the detailed and engaging overview of the MTB trails in the Columbus area. Looking forward to my next visit to the central Ohio so that I can explore more.
Check out the marion ohio quarry park. there has been a lot of new features added, alot of rocky stuff and short climbs. About 10+ miles of trail to ride! Also just got involved with combo.
Oak Openings is really nice if you are up north in the Toledo area. A handful of beginner and intermediate loops, some wooden rollers and a cool wood rope bridge that’s about 15ft off the ground and goes right by some treehouse cabins you can rent. Trailhead has a little skill park and a local brewery and cafe with nice bathrooms and showers. About 12 miles all in. Nearby there is Jermain Park, which is a lot of short steep climbs and switchbacks, about 7 miles I think. Then you are a stones throw from Heritage in Adrian, Mi and, of course, Poto.
Thanks Preston! Another viewer left this comment so I'm obliged to pass it on as well: I can’t recommend enough that you substitute The Baileys in Chauncey for Strouds Runs and Sells Parks in Athens. The single track in Athens is incomparably better than at the Baileys. Much more beautiful views too and a lot more options for more advanced riders. Rock house trail is a good flowy Singletrack at Sells Park with a few really fun downhill trails connecting it to The Athens Trail which parallels the Rockhouse from above. The Sundown, Thunderbunny, and one other make up a 30ish mile loop around the Dow Lake at Strouds Run and is a super fun xc loop with plenty of opportunity’s to ride technical roots and rocks.
Mohican is probably double the elevation you mentioned. MTB Project is way off. Glad to hear you pronounce Chauncey correctly. Do you know why it's pronounced "wrong"?

Awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting! I have done some trail running in that area but never biking. Thanks for the info I will definitely check these out.
@@LivingtheColumbusWay OU Allum - Strouds and Sells park in Athens has some of the most beautiful and nice trails for experienced riders. Athens has a ton of "hidden gems" you should check out in general. Great little plae
Great overview! I live a little closer to Zanesville so I would add Horns and Dillon to the mix. There really is a lot of great riding out here. 🤘
I've heard much about both of them! Wish I would we would have had access to Horns about 20 years ago, I healed quicker!
Would you mind if some of the video was used for combo social media ? I need clips for a membership drive and you have some really good footage
Have at it!

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this! Looking forward to visiting some of these places in the spring!
Omg this is EXACTLY the video I was looking for! Thank you! Do you know if I can bring my Onewheel on these tracks?
So sorry I'm just seeing this! I'm not sure, I would say go ahead and do it until someone tells you no. Enjoy!

This is a pretty sick MTB overview of the area.
Thank you!! Are there any you would add? I want to do a follow up on some of the stuff I missed.

Thanks for the recommendation Hussaf1! I'll have to check those out we are headed that way this Summer
Man, Your editing and video quality is on Point!! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that!
Cool, want to visit all those places!
Nice video. Glad to see you care so much for Columbus, OH, by promoting these trail systems. Certainly plan on riding them when I pass thru Ohio.

Did not know that but glad it’s wrong, Mohican definitely challenges me....I don’t know why it’s pronounced that way?
Bro ride horns hill and you will never ride those other places again
Just heard about that place and will definitely check it out-thanks man!
Best riding in Ohio for downhill/enduro without a doubt

Strouds and Sells are not "incomparably better" than Baileys.
Baileys is way better. More trails being built and more black diamonds. It is more of a destination trail system.
I missed a lot of trails better than Alum Creek bwahahaha
You are entitled to your opinion....I tend to not drive North much for mtb other than Mohican
only in ohio
AW Marion is waaaay better than Alum Creek dude! You must be a newbie.
I've done a lot of mtb in my life, but with young kids (and living in Colorado for 10 years) I'm not as familiar with Ohio trails.
Vultures knob beats out Mohican any day of the week.
