Well, it has been a nice run of mostly dry weather and open trails for that last couple of months, but it looks like we have a few days of rain and wintry mix starting tonight (Tuesday) and continuing through this weekend; as such, the singletrack trails will be closed through at least Sunday the 25th. We will reassess the trail conditions Monday the 26th. The multi-use trails will remain open for use.

Our Trails
At 1North Adventure Trails, we’ve built over 20 miles of thoughtfully designed, non-motorized trails across 547 acres of beautiful northwest Louisiana forest. Our system features a perfect mix of flowy, bike-optimized singletrack—with berms, rollers, bridges, and natural features for an exciting mountain biking experience—and wide, accessible multi-use paths ideal for hiking, trail running, and family outings. Whether you’re chasing technical descents through dense pine and hardwood canopies or enjoying a peaceful walk beside serene ponds and shaded overlooks, every trail is crafted to connect you with nature.
We’re proud to offer something for everyone: thrilling singletrack for riders, rolling hills and scenic views for runners and hikers, and a true partnership with the outdoors in every step and pedal stroke.
Come explore, ride, run, or walk—your adventure awaits at 1North.
A Partnership with Nature.
