M.T.B. Trail
Trail Snapshot:
Trail Description
E-bikes NOT allowed on M.T.B.
The M.T.B. trail connects the uphill only Ben’s Trail to Kent’s Trail so it makes a good bail-out point to go back to the trail head. It also heads off to the North from Ben’s over to Skyliners Road at the intersection of Skyliner’s and the Brooks-Scanlon logging road. Many people ride up Ben’s from Phil’s trailhead, turn right at M.T.B. trail, and head over to Mrazek.
Trail History: M.T.B. trail originally was called Bealeman’s after Mike T. Beale, but was changed to M.T.B. trail.
This trail is maintained by Central Oregon Trail Alliance.

Trees are almost all gone, but riding well.
Muddy and icy
Hi cool kids and those inquiring! Glenn, Henry and I took some awesome COTA volunteers out to lower Phil’s yesterday to drain standing water, create and clear drains and other stuff. Still a mess out there. Go north or east for another week or so and then the Ben’s, MTB and Kent’s loop should be ready to go. Anything higher will still be a mess. Ride on!
And…if you must ride mud, ride directly down the middle of the trail. Our trails are amazingly self-healing and any ruts will smooth out when the trails dry and become sandy.
Riding decent from shevlin to Kent’s, frozen dirt but some folks definitely hit when was a bit sloppy so expect a few areas of frozen ruts.
Rode this trail From Ben’s to Kent’s on Thursday the 16th On 4 inch wide studded Dillinger’s . there was only foot prints and possible fat bike tracks underneath the holes from boots. It was a very narrow trail I was off and on the trail a lot sort of difficult to get through down to Kent’s . Augured in a few times but nonetheless it was fun just needs a few more tracks through it
Clear and tacky from Ben’s to Kent’s.
All clear.
MTB was decent with a few snow patches between Ben’s and Kent’s. Kent’s itself looked pretty muddy, so I went back up MTB and back down Ben’s.
Rode Ben’s to MTB to Kent’s as a fatbike loop this morning. Pretty fun. That loop is nicely compacted — though the sides of the trail are pretty high and there’s a fair amount of pedal scraping.
