 Spring is Here! Get Out & Live during this first spring at MoMBA. Ride the sweet singletrack as you wind through the lush forest and rocky outcroppings of Huffman MetroPark. You’ll be engulfed by the crisp breeze on your face as you sleuth down Upper Stealth before zipping past the pastel hues of thousands of wildflowers on Voodoo. The crisp blue skies call out spring while kicking it in Hawk’s Lair and the cool air will soon give way to exuberation as you cross one more babbling brook on your way to that post ride beverage. Five Rivers MetroParks is full of water, thus the three Rivers and two creeks that make up our name, and taking advantage of these water resources can be enjoyable and fun with some instruction this spring. Take the Kayak Basics class for instruction on paddle strokes and safety techniques or dive into the Beginner Whitewater Series to take your skills to the next level that ends with a paddle on the Class II/III Paint Creek during their spring dam release. Backpacking close to home will never be easier with the opening of the Twin Valley Trail, a 22 mile backpacking trail including secluded backcountry camping in Germantown and Twin Creek MetroParks and don’t miss the Grand Opening Festivities on June 21. Be prepared to take advantage of the trail with our spring backpacking progression; Backpacking Basics, Introduction to Backpacking, and a trip to Dolly Sods in West Virginia make a perfect jumpstart to building confidence and skill to enjoy a lifetime of backpacking on the Twin Valley Trail and beyond.

For up to date trail conditions and closures at MoMBA,
 please call 937-277-4374.
 Enjoy the Trails and "Get Out and Ride!"
