Really great bike trails, awesome scenery and not a bad hike! A nice lesser known gem.

Absolutely beautiful place! Perfect for biking or walking the trail. Took my 4 younger kids with me and they totally loved it! (Actress 7-10) Roughly about 2 miles for the novice trail. A great break not far from home!

Love this place. Its a great place to bring your kids and to go on hike. Just remember to move a side for the bicycles. The signs are clearly posted letting you know what trail you are on. I enjoyed my time here and I will definitely come back again.

Great park. As a pure novice rider, Id like to see signage warning of obstacles and drops. Trails are more involved than simple single-track.

Nice trails, beautiful place for a ride. This was my first off road ride, and I only stuck to the Novice trail.

Man o man I love this park. It has beginner, intermediate and expert. I believe the expert is about 6 miles. Theres a drop of about 6 feet. Lots of nature.

The pond needs some MAJOR work. It has overgrown to the point where fishing is useless. There are no open spots to fish. Weeds all the way up to the surface

Je
Review №13

This is a nice park offering miles of trails throughout. There is nice hills and some ponds that can be fished. Watch out for the bicycles as they are sometimes going pretty fast. I would recommend this place to people and intend to come back again!

Signs are confusing and trails are way longer than expected. Doesnt say how long but it was nice but not pretty like Mounds state park.

Review №17

A trail for all riders. Good beginner route as well as intermediate and advanced. This trail leans towards technical and less flowy. The advances ride is one of the most technical Ive ridden here in Indiana.

It’s a great walk through the woods however you can hear peoples lawnmowers and the highway the whole time. Doesn’t quite feel like major when that happens also these trails are geared for bikes not walkers. Which is great if you’re a biker. I saw someone put that there was only one trail listed with novice intermediate and expert. He was correct… You have to go a lot further before it breaks off where intermediate and novice go one way and expert goes another. In hiking the novice level I ended up on intermediate trail and had to call for help. If you have a mountain bike I suggest taking these trails as you will have a blast however if you are walking I would suggest going elsewhere personally.

Hiking trails and Biking trails very beautiful scenery and long trails cant wait to go back in the spring. Reccomend it if you are a bicyclist or a hiker.

Great place to visit, especially during the colder months. Be wary of deers packing handguns.

Great mtb trails, a little bit far from indianapolis, but still a good place to visit once in a while..

Review №35

This place is gorgeous and makes you feel very secluded. If you are hiking or biking there are a lot of challenges. It wasnt very crowded at all, so if you like to be alone in nature this is your spot. There is a gorgeous view of the lake at one of the ends of the bike trails. We sat for a second and just took in all the quiet peacefulness around us.My only complaint is that there was a lot of trash, at the beginning of the trail. It was used for dumping by a lot of people at some point.

Review №36

Nice walking trails. Mostly set up for mountain bikes and I would say they have the right off way, so keep an eye out for them if you bring your dog for a walk. A bit marshy in areas, and seems to stay wet for a while. Pretty long trails, so be ready for a long walk

The park was clean and the trails was nice.

Review №38

Great trails for flat old indiana, plenty of climbing and descending, a combo of both to keep you pumping through sections. Good for any skill level as they have beginner, intermediate, and expert trail heads. Awesome man made features on the expert one including teeter totters, boardwalks, drop offs, and banked curves. Great free park to hone in your skills

Ive been running playing on these trails for 20 years, hiking, excellent mountain biking. Fishing and access to the white river. Check it out

More of a bike trail but we enjoyed it.

Review №46

Trails are A+ and well maintained considering the ten or so miles of bike dominant, but runner-friendly terrain. There exists a quite diverse ecosystem consisting of unique microclimates within small areas that would not normally form in nature without greater erosion. (It’s a roller coaster as far as elevation change is concerned.) Rangeline is a very special place and habitat for otherwise neglected organisms.

Review №47

Disappointing, and not for everyone. I may have used the wrong entrance, but I only saw one trail- it was all mud and had steep slopes but was marked Novice - Intermediate - Expert. When I reached a point where I would have to walk down a muddy 70 degree incline I turned around.

Review №49

Nice trails local to Anderson. Only complaint is that there is no separate trail for bikes only/hikers only. Its almost impossible to hear bikers come up behind you on the trails.

Great place to go hiking on foot or ride your mountain bike! However they need to clear the trails in some places and replace some of the wood in spots.

Fun bike trails but as far as being a Nature Preserve, it is completely unmanaged. The area is completely overrun by invasive non-native honeysuckle and garlic mustard.

6+ miles of mountain bike trails. Novice thru expert level. One of the most technical trails in the state. Check out their Facebook page for videos on what to expect.

Probably the most technically challenging trails in Indiana. Extremely well marked and easy to follow. Well maintained trails. Often the first trails to go green after rain.
