The course loop is approximately 9 miles long with over 1000 feet of climbing and 90% single track. The remaining 10% is primitive double track.
Horizon is technical but has some beginner and moderate sections as well. There are flat and fast open throttle sections as well as wooded trails and rocky, technical track. Rolling roller coaster like descents intermingled with short ascents, drops and whoop-de-doos. The energy sucking climb towards the end of each lap will slow even the strongest rider
Camp Horizon is also the host of the annual Tour de Lizard, which is a race in both the Tour de Dirt (OK) and United Federation of Dirt (KS) series. This trail is on private land and we ride at the pleasure of Camp Horizon. As such there may be walkers and hikers so please ride with this in mind.
This trail is maintained by Kansas Singletrack Society. Go to KSSingletrack.com and select the About KSS tab to report a trail issue.
Take US 77 into Arkansas City, KS to Madison St. Take Madison St. (which changes to CR 12 at the city limits) east for approximately 3.5 miles. Where CR 12 curves left, go right onto CR 6. Turn right at the Camp Horizon sign. Traihead and kiosk are well marked.
