I took off in the middle, at parking area D. South of Bader bridge. I use my 29er with 2.2 inch tires. They received 0.35 inches of rain the night before. The ride was cool and humid with cloud cover for most of the ride. Trail is packed fairly well with gravel on top. Very similar to most Nebraska gravel roads. Took off to the south toward Marquette. The mile 3.5-5 heading south was tree covered so much so that it stopped the breeze from reaching me. Cross highway 14, and quite a bit of the trail has trees on both sides, but sky above. Keeping you shaded and allowing somewhat of a breeze to reach you. About mile marker 6.5 the trail opened up more and I noticed a lot more loose crushed concrete on the trail. The last 2 miles into Marquette is fairly open. Crop ground on either side or trees. Through Marquette, the trail was really soft as I’m guessing the elevator traffic has rough it up quite a bit. The trail condition south of Marquette is not ideal. Definitely larger rocks that are loser. Can also tell where farmers have checked on their fields and used the trail with a side-by-side. Got to the end of the trail at a really cool bridge that is over the gravel road. Too bad the trail doesn’t continue past the bridge I turned around and headed north. Saw my first other trail user about 2 miles south of Bader bridge. Road for over 11 miles before seeing another person on the trail. I continued North across the Bader Bridge, saw several people on the bridge in a few people between the bridge and Central City walking. That section of trail is in pretty good shape, crushed limestone one deep spot that took me by surprise but otherwise in good shape. The area between the bridge and Central city has very few trees. It is mostly open. From the bridge over the gravel road south of Marquette all the way to Highway 30 in Central City is 10 miles. Don’t let the 8.3 miles fool you! Overall, the trail is in pretty good shape. I would definitely want mountain bike tires, not gravel tires. I would say half of the trail is shaded by trees during the day.
We started at the north end and rode to Peru and found out the trail has been closed south of Peru for a few months because of a wildfire and standing burnt trees next to the trail. While it is only closed to honey creek the route around on county roads to get to Brownville adds quite a bit of climbing.
Knowing Chief Standing Bear trail is connected to the homestead trail and Jamaica trail to the north. It was a surprise to see the trailhead facilities were top notice, nice picnic area with tables, restrooms. The trails for a good portion are completely tree covered with the blue river running to the side and crossing the trail at times. Of course the towns you do come to have very limited stores or much to do. I was very impressed with the trail, it’s one I plan to ride many more times.
It’s a great trail, with scenic areas, with wide open areas too, it can be deserted at times. But it’s connected to the Jamaica Trail to the north, and standing Bear Trail to the south. So it’s a big long trail, make sure to bring water. There are convenient stores close by if needed.. cortland being one.
Drove up here from Denver for a three day weekend to ride 150 miles of this trail. Valentine to Woodlake and back was an excellent condition. I can happily report no goat head flats. Love that this trail happened. I'm a huge advocate of rails to trails. The peace and quiet is outstanding and the scenery off the highway is lovely.
8’ wide concrete trail over 6 miles long. Parking lots available along the trail with multiple picnic spots. Awesome trail for many uses close to the heart of Omaha!
Highly recommend this beautiful and well kept trail. Beautiful to ride along the trees and over the 2 epic ohiopyle bridges.
We left from Brownsville on our recumbent trikes. About 1/2 mile in, ran into a good wash out that we had to carry trikes across. This was not a surprise due to serious storms and rain a couple of days ago. There were a few smaller washout spots. At about 6,5 miles out, we ran into a bunch of trees that had been cleared off the trail. Thank you to all that are taking care of this trail. At about 7.5 miles we had to turn around due to a huge tree across the trail from our last storm. This was a great trail with great scenery. We definitely will be riding it more this year. Still need to check out the portion north of Peru also.
Great views clean paths and wide space for bikes
There is a horse trail that parallels this trail. It's a nice trail except where some horses have used it travelling along and causing depressions. Horses need to use their own trail provided for them.
