In May 2025, I parked near the dog park in Riverside Park and got on the trail. (There is a parking lot facing the river near the dog park). Going one way, I was soon at the west end point by S Beltline Hwy W. I then went in the other direction. It followed the North Platte River. Construction on a bridge prevented users on the trail under it. The bridge does have a separate lane for pedestrians and bikers, who are asked to walk their bikes. The trail goes along ponds and roads. At one intersection I had trouble finding the trail on the other side of it, so I ended up going past it. Every sidewalk looked like the trail. From the road, it looked like a driveway but the trail was at the far end of it. I had seen the driveway, but not the trail. An extra sign would have been helpful. I have to dig into my front bag for the phone to use TrailLink each time I want to use it. Those who use techy devices the entire ride probably would not have had the trouble I did. I did ride the trail to the visitor center at Scottsbluff National Monument. It was more narrow, hilly and little bumpier than I expected, but doable. The scenery makes it worth while.
It is not a tough biking trail but has great scenery and is on a national park!
