Lodestone Regional Park

Lodestone Park, located in Kearns just off the Mountain View Corridor on 6200 South, has a set of bike trails on a slope above the main park. The trails have recently been revised to offer more-varied riding options, with the addition of a skills area, and have now re-opened to the public in May 2025.

Note that in a "bike park" area, trails and features may change fairly often. This description is current as of summer 2025.

Trails are well-marked. There's an area map on the lower Perimeter Trail at the skills area.

There are some optional trailside stunts, such as rock roll-overs and balance beams. But for the most part they're beginner-level easy.

"Corrals" have been added to the start and end of the downhill routes to provide safe staging areas at the top and receiving pens at the bottom to prevent collisions from high-speed merging. And the pens make a nice spot to group up for a downhill, or to wait and watch while the rest of your group filters down the trail.

The trails are contained within a two-way singletrack Perimeter trail. This narrow singletrack is, itself, contained within a paved loop. There are three downhill-only trails: Rainbow Road (easy) on the north end and Pedal Strikes Black (difficult) and Blue Flow (intermediate) on the south. Road to Ohana is a two-way longer easy trail. Flying Squirrel is intermediate two-way, joining Road to Ohana half-way down.

Because the paved trails see heavy use, I'm going to suggest that you climb ride the singletrack to access the DH routes and NOT use the paved perimeter trail that will be filled with kids, strollers, and dogs.

There's a bathroom with running water in the play area east of the bike trails.

The Perimeter Trail forms a loop around the downhill trails. It is two-way.

There are some practice stunts as alternate lines on Perimeter Trail. For example, there's a rollover ramp, a rock roll-over, a rock rumble strip, and a couple of balance beams.

Near the northern end of Perimeter Trail, there's a receiving corral. On the southern side of the fence, there are two trails. the smaller one on the left is the climbing trail. It will meander around to the top of the wooden ramps you see above you. There are three options, all quite easy. It gets bigger from right to left.

Across Perimeter Trail from the ramps, there's a small pump track. The bumps seemed pretty tiny on my all-mountain 29er. So I guess it's designed for smaller people on smaller bikes.

Located just south of the pump track is a loop with wooden ramps. Seems designed for smaller people, testing their handling skills. This is called the Strider Loop.

The northernmost DH trail is Rainbow Road. It's 0.3 miles long with only around 80 vertical feet of descent. The trail begins on the northeast corner of a staging corral just off Perimeter Trail.

It's a relatively easy ride. The trail ends in a receiving corral on lower Perimeter Trail.

Flying Squirrel begins on the southwest corner of the north staging corral on upper Perimeter Trail. It runs 0.5 miles, then joins with Road to Ohana for the final 0.5 miles of the downhill.

Flying Squirrel is not a continuous downhill. It often angles back uphill to add distance. It's ranked intermediate in difficulty. There are occasional embedded rocks, and the width of the trail is narrower.

Road to Ohana is the longest trail of the system. With the 2025 revisions, it has been shortened to 1.6 miles. Like Flying Squirrel, Road to Ohana is a two-way trail that meanders around the slope.

Near the southern end of upper Perimeter Trail, two DH routes leave the southeast corner of a staging corral. Each is 1/4 mile long with around 75 feet of elevation loss.

The trail to the left is an expert-level descent called Pedal Strikes Back.

There are a few linked flow turns near the bottom, and a couple of tables where you can catch air if you've got enough speed.

Both of the rock stunts have ride-arounds.

Pedal Strikes Back ends at the south receiving corral on lower Perimeter Trail.

There's one curved ramp leading to a rock drop of around 12 inches. It looks intimidating at first but is pretty easy. If you keep to the inside at moderate speed, you can actually roll it. And there's a ride-around to the side.
