Fort Duffield has a little bit of everything—punchy climbs, steep descents, dirt jumps, scenic views, and a little bit of history. This former Civil War fort right by the Ohio and Salt Rivers has the potential to attract riders from all over the Midwest, spur economic growth in the town of West Point, and provide progression for riders looking to advance their skills.

The Kentucky Mountain Bike Association (KyMBA) Louisville is raising funds to expand the Fort Duffield trail system by building new trails, adding and maintaining features, and reopening one section of the system.

The additional trail will be a blue/black technical trail with a natural feeling, as challenging trail experiences are something the area lacks. The terrain at Fort Duffield lends to this type of trail thanks to its steep hillsides and rocky soil. Professional builders will construct the trail, assisted by KyMBA Louisville volunteers.
