Follow the Red Trail marking from the trailhead for a loop which finishes back at your starting point. It involves paved road up to the City Lake property, and dirt trail within the lake area. The Red Trail provides an intermediate level ride. Side trails within the City Lake area are more advanced and may be of interest to off-road cyclists. Points of interest along the way include the site of the General Refractories Brick Yard which was once the largest fire brick manufacturing location in the world, and portions of the Midland Trail (a pioneer road which connected St. Louis to Washington D.C. and points in between). The trail passes through the Clay Farm and the old Qualls Home site and has side trails which take you to numerous trails around Olive Hill City Lake. Take time to explore this area. The Red Trail continues through scenic Ranch road and Blueberry Ridge (beautiful views) and down Mills Branch to bring you back to the your starting point. Ranch Road, Blueberry Ridge and Mills Branch are paved.
