Iron Hill Park

Newark, DE - 15 minutes from Henry's
Once the site of a large mining operation, Iron Hill Park's 334 acres now lie alongside the hustle and bustle of Interstate 95. Many of the old mining pits now offer mountain bike trails that are laced with roller-coaster hills and BMX jumps. A good example is the Mega-Dip: a 40-foot drop into an old abandoned iron mining pit. There are many spur trails that connect with the main trails. With mostly tight singletrack and wide doubletrack trails and some short, rocky sections, Iron Hill is a great place to ride fast, somewhat technical terrain.
