The Buttermilk Trail has 3 trails. Buttermilk East runs from the Manchester Bridge to 22nd street and Buttermilk proper Trail, built, runs from 22nd Street to 43rd Street. Later the trail was extended to the Boulevard Bridge, this section being named Buttermilk Heights. In general Buttermilk Heights has more climbing and more rocks than Buttermilk.
Ā BELLE ISLEĀ Ā you have 2 areas on Belle Isle to explore . The āLost Trailā is located on the eastern edge of the island, and is a flat, flowing trail with a few bermed turns. The other section of trails are located on top of the hill in the middle of the island. Connecting these two trail sections is the āLost Garden,ā the longest rock garden in the area under the service bridge. The trails on the top of the island are moderately more difficult, with tight singletrack riddled with lots of roots and tight turns. There are great view of the river from the top of the hill near the western side of the island.
Belle Isle is home to the Belle Island Bicycle Skills Area where you can learn new skills that will help you navigate the rest of the trail system.
