Oil Well Flats is a brand-new singletrack trail system being built around old 4x4 and doubletrack roads. There's currently over 10 miles of brand-new sweet singletrack to ride, with many more miles already under construction and planned for the future.<br />
This trail system is undoubtedly cross-country oriented, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Some of these trails are rather technical, incorporating many natural rocks and features for a very pedally, technical disposition. <br />
That said, all of the singletrack is superbly designed, contouring with the land and passing by some of the most interesting and scenic features.<br />
Thanks to the unique climate surrounding Canon City, this area stays very dry, even during the winter.<br />
Be sure to bring a camera for all of the fantastic views, and a little suspension for the rocks wouldn't hurt, either.
Up County Road 9. See Google Maps Directions.
