Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Nice wide fairly new pavement.
Signage: Warning signs only.
Comments: Start at Montana State University and end on the edge of town. There is one major intersection that needs to be navigated. Nice for a bit of mileage, there are options for more miles by taking one of the intersecting bike paths. Pretty much a level ride.
Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Nice wide fairly new pavement.
Signage: Warning signs only.
Comments: If starting from Main Street this is a climb to the finish but a nice downhill on the return. Check out trails in the nearby Lindley Park area. Can access them from this trail.
This trail is a segment of the Great American Rail-Trail (GART).
Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Overall good pavement and wide.
Signage: Some warning, no directional.
Comments: Follows along North 19 Ave with a major intersection crossing. Additional other minor intersection crossings. Fine for getting through the area but nothing special about it.

Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Overall good pavement and wide, with some short sections of concrete narrow path.
Signage: Some warning, no directional.
Comments: Follows along Oak Street with a major intersection crossing. Additional other minor intersection crossings. Fine for getting through the area but nothing special about it.
This trail is a segment of the Great American Rail-Trail (GART).
Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Most excellent pavement, fresh and new. Doesn’t get any better surface.
Signage: Some warning, no directional.
Comments: This is an uphill climb (west to east) beside the highway. But the trail is wide and new, making it worth the effort. Once at the parking area at the eastern end, it is all down hill back to the west. This starts on the edge of town and ends beneath the big “M” on the hillside.
This trail is a segment of the Great American Rail-Trail (GART).
Location: Bozeman, MT
Trail Condition: Gravel/natural surface. Smooth riding but unusual trail for Rail-Trail/TrailLink, as part of this is just a narrow dirt trail alongside the road. Nothing official looking about this trail, however, there is trail name signage at points along it.
Signage: Some directional, warning, and a few informational.
Comments: This is a rails-to-trails trail and a short portion of follows along the old abandoned rails that are still in place. Passes over a bridge next to an original rail trestle, past an old flour mill and ends at a forest park. Glen Lake Rotary Park has a small network of trails through the thick underbrush and trees. Take your time and wander around on this smooth dirt trails. I startled a skunk and now my bike smells just wonderful! Another diversion alongside the trail is the Story Mill Community Park with a number of easy trails to meander along. This is a good ride. Liked this enough to ride it the following day.
Location: Livingston, MT
Trail Condition: Gravel/natural surface. Nice and smooth going.
Signage: Some regulatory and information signs.
Comments: From trailhead through Sacajawea Park the trail is narrow and elevated above the roadway. For bikes better to stay on road and not compete with walkers. The end segment of trail is wider and can handle both bikes and walkers. The trail is right a rivers edge and good views of the river. Osprey sitting on nest atop a tall pole near the trail.
Note: Couldn't find the Sacagawea statue from the trail or as I drove thru park. Must be hidden well.
Location: Livingston, MT
Trail Condition: Gravel/natural surface. Nice and smooth going.
Signage: Some regulatory and information signs.
Comments: This trail is on other side of the Yellowstone River from town and gets you into the country. Sign at trailhead says trail makes a 2 mile loop but I didn’t see it, is a mile out and back. Still very enjoyable ride and away from traffic, past cows in the field, etc. For a short extension a trail to the left at the start will take you to a medical facility 0.2 miles away. Additionally a newly paved trail goes across the bridge and to the edge of town.
Location: Livingston, MT
Trail Condition: Gravel/natural surface. Grass has been recently mowed. Gravel path is narrow but generally smooth.
Signage: Some regulatory signs.
Comments: This trail is on the edge of town and travels behind a few houses and goes to the Northside Park & Soccer Field. The official end of trail is here, however, pass through the park to a gravel path going downhill and over to the Bozeman Trail Connector for a longer ride on mostly gravel path.
Location: Livingston, MT
Trail Condition: Gravel/natural surface. Grass has been recently mowed. Gravel path is narrow but generally smooth.
Signage: None really.
Comments: This trail goes from the edge of town slight uphill through the grasslands and ends at a muddy parking lot. While not long the trail condition and how it winds through the grassland makes it fun. Good views back to the mountains and town below. Combine this with the Bitterroot Trail for a little longer adventure. A gravel path goes from this trailhead to the east up a small hill to Northside Park & Soccer Field, pass through the park and connect with the very short Bitterroot Trail.
This trail is a segment of the Great American Rail-Trail (GART).
Location: Livingston, MT
Trail Condition: The 2.7 miles from Livingston south needs maintenance, serious maintenance in some areas (overgrown, weeds up through pavement, cracks, etc.) The trail is passable. The last mile is new and in excellent condition.
Signage: No directional, some warning.
Comments: This trail parallels busy highway 89 into Yellowstone National Park. However, a good part of it is a little distance from the road, decreasing the busy highway distraction. TrailLink lists this trail as 2.7 miles long, however, an additional mile of trail has been recently added to the trail, making this 3.7 miles long.
