You can also help us by using the “Trail Status App” and sharing trailhead information with other users, not only for Fountainhead but for other trails in the MORE inventory. The widget below is updated in real time as users submit trail information.

The original Mountain Bike Trails at Fountainhead were built by MORE volunteers with Support from REI, and FAT City Cycles. MORE led the initial effort in the early to mid 1990s to build approximately 4 miles of trails at Fountainhead.
MORE has been involved at Fountainhead Regional Park since the trails were built in the early to mid 1990s.
Sustainability. In their current state, Fountainhead trails are not sustainable. The project aims to make the trails last longer and make them easier to maintain.
The Fountainhead Project plan is to increase the overall mileage of the trails by creating a stacked loop system of beginner to advanced trails. The intention is to increase mileage to an overall distance of about 15 miles.
Anything closed will be replaced with something of equal or better quality. The overall goal of the project is to increase the overall mileage of the system with fun and challenging sustainable trails.
No. The trails at Fountainhead will remain challenging. The new trails will vary in difficulty and offer all riders a great riding experience.
No. The project should not have any effect on upcoming races. Trails currently under construction will remain off limits until they are completed and opened to the public.
