Home to Hamilton County’s first official mountain bike trail

Mitchell Memorial Forest was the country home of William Morris Mitchell, who developed a deep love for nature and gifted his family's land to Great Parks in 1974. His vision of a lush, thriving forest was realized 40 years later thanks to the legacy and funding he left behind. Today it serves as a hiking, fishing and mountain biking destination.
