Mountain biking enthusiasts will soon have a new destination to explore in the Hyland Bush Anderson Lakes Park Reserve. Staff from Three Rivers Park District are in the final design phase for a singletrack mountain bike trail designed to provide a high-quality riding experience while protecting the park reserve’s natural resources.
The effort follows a 2025 cooperative agreement in which Three Rivers began operating several park units previously managed by the City of Bloomington. After evaluating the area, staff concluded the park reserve could support a destination style mountain bike trail.
A general trail location was identified, and design work is being finalized. Project goals include preserving natural habitats, minimizing impacts to neighbors and other park users, protecting cross country ski infrastructure and creating trails for riders of all skill levels.
The trail would use existing park amenities, including parking, restrooms and drinking water. Residents can subscribe for project updates through Three Rivers Park District at letstalkthreerivers.org/hyland-singletrack-trail.
