Where is the best place to take kids to learn how to ride?
There are a couple good options for taking young kids/first time riders at Rampart. The best is probably the Dutch Fred camping area. In 2000 there was a major renovation of the Dutch Fred area and two new beginner areas were added. One is the “Kiddy Corral”, which is basically a fenced oval loop where first timers can buzz around in circles to their hearts content without having to worry about them wandering too far away. When they get bored with the oval, there is also “Lightfoot’s Loop” in the same area. This is a slightly more challenging trail loop that runs a short distance back in to the woods. Once they become more confident, you can venture out with them to some of the beginner trails. You can find information about trail ratings on the Trail Information page or on the trail maps. There is another oval-style track area near the Overlook parking area similar to the Kiddy Corral. It is just south of the Flat Rocks camping area.
