Medicine Wheel Trail Guide

Lake Pueblo Reservoir - South Shore Trail System

Ever been to Fruita? This trail system is a lot like that! It'is an unbelieveable system of trails built at Lake Pueblo Reservoir by the Southern Colorado Trail Builders. You can ride up to 30 miles of singletrack trails, with nice cross-country, some skinny technical stuff, bits of slickrock here and there, and beautiful meandering singletrack that skirts the edges of the bluffs overlooking the lake. Highly recommended for the cooler seasons, it's usually clear riding when the rest of the state is snowed in in winter.

Please Note These trails can get very muddy when wet, so please don't ride them in that condition. Call the State Park for up-to-date information.

These trails are located in a Colorado State Park and may require an entrance fee or State Park Pass. More information here

READ THIS DISCLAIMER, IT'S IMPORTANT!

  • Mountain biking and recreation in the outdoors in general can be a hazardous activity.
  • The maps, photos, files and other information provided on this web site are provided as is, with no guarantee of their accuracy.
  • The posted information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a recommendation that you actually go out and travel these areas without additional preparation and knowledge.
  • Some of these trails may cross private property or be otherwise closed to public access. We recommend you check out the area you intend to visit with the appropriate authorities.
  • Some of these trails may be obviously long and technically difficult, but even those rated as "easy" could contain hazards.
  • Some of these areas may be a long way from roads or assistance. Self rescue may be required in the event of trouble.
  • Electronic devices can fail; bring paper maps and know how to use them. A cell phone may not work where you are going. In addition, you may get lost, become injured, be attacked by wild animals, or suffer the effects of weather, all of which could result in injury or death.
  • Be honest with yourself in assessing your own skill level. If you just bought a bike at Wal Mart and quit smoking last week, do not attempt, say, a six hour backcountry ride, or it could literally become a "death march".
  • Be prepared. We recommend you carry all appropriate safety gear, like helmets & gloves, as well as food, water, tools, a means for creating fire, and additional clothing. And common sense. Bring some of that along.

Have fun!
