Wooden Berm at the Dog Park.
Summary
The Dog Park Trails are located in the 21-acre wooded areas off North Marquette Street in Davenport, adjacent to the popular dog park. Boasting just under 3 miles of singletrack, The Dog Park Trails are the perfect urban getaway for every skill level. Enjoy the easy flowing beginner level (green) trails, or get lost in the wilderness with the mid-level (blue) cross country trails. For those wanting to test their mettle, The Dog Park is best known for its heavily featured (and easily sessionable) advanced (black) trails. With a bridge spanning both sides of Robin Creek, wooden and dirt berms, and enough jumps to satisfy even the most seasoned rider, The Dog Park is a versatile trail system that has something for everyone. The park is located a mile north of the Duck Creek bike path making access by bike easy from most places in Davenport. On street parking is limited so we suggest riding to the park if possible.

Trail Information
The Dog Park trail system is built as a hybrid stacked loop and network system. Two beginner friendly green loops circle the interior of the park with more difficult trails branching off towards the perimeter. Permitted trail uses include mountain biking and other human powered activities. Park hours are consistent with all Davenport public parks.
Trail Closures
Trails at The Dog Park are closed to all users when wet and muddy to prevent rut damage. Trail closures will be displayed on the trail status in the upper left hand corner of this page. Trails are typically closed for 24 hours or more after 0.20" or greater rainfall and during freeze thaw cycles as necessary in winter months.
