Banner Creek Lake Challenge

The 5K Spooktacular Trail Run starts at 2 pm along the scenic Twin Oaks Trail on the south side of Banner Creek Lake. Starting at 3 pm, bikers can enjoy 10 miles of scenic and challenging trails, consisting of both packed earth and grass singletrack, as well as gravel maintenance roads. The trail passes over the dam, providing great views of the lake. It also passes through prairie sections that feature native grasses and wildflower plots, as well as sections through wooded areas. There are a number of rustic foot bridges along the trail. The open areas of the trail are smooth and easy, suitable for beginners, but the wooded ares provide more challenging riding, with sharp turns and some short climbs and descents.
