Very nice trail
By mcudzich in June, 2011
I often ride this trail before work since I live nearby. It's very pleasant and not at all crowded early in the morning (5:30-ish AM). Not too challenging either, easy to do in under an hour. Enjoy :)
Great Trail
By ryanalf in September, 2010
I ride the Poplar Creek Trail all the time. There are two hills, one on the east side(by Golf Road) and one on the west side (south of Golf Road). They are challenging but doable. There are sections that you can fly on, and other sections that are crowded with pedastrians and dogs.
Nice Ride - plent of scenery changes
By mostaffe in September, 2010
This is a very nice trail - it has woods, hills, flat areas, and plenty of farm/field views. Fully completed back around 2003-4. Nowhere near as crowded as the nearest park trail at Busse Woods.
