Hawthorne Ridge Recreation Area

Great BMX and MT bike pump track and challenge track for kids and adults!

Parking is tricky. We had to pull in the dog park to take the back road to parking.

The pump track is well built and cool area to hangout in for a while pretty chill spot 👍

Fun times to ride a bike pump track and mtb course

Visited the free dog park with my pup.. Very large area and decently kept. My suggestion would be to wear bug repellant tho. It's off the gravel road by a walking trail. Couldn't stay long because I was unprepared to be eaten alive by mosquitos.

My son loves the pump track at Hawthorne Ridge! There’s also a track down lower the young children can enjoy or people who want to practice their mountain biking skills. Across the street there’s a large playground so if you have kids of different ages there’s a lot of options.

This is a fun session especially on bike. You aim yo get the hang of speeding through by pumping and peddling while riding the copes and knolls to the max. Super fun and every round you take gets addicting. Never too busy but there are days of overcrowded. Comes with territory. Give this course a run. Bikes work best. I seen a kid use a rip stick though so skateboard and fruit boot would suffice. Very fun and it's a great work out pumping down each knoll and spine gaining speed at every turn. You'll find yourself launching off the edges and transitioning after you get the gist of things. Check it out! Bruh.

This is a great park for bike riders, sk8ers, and inline skates. There's a paved course that is visible from the Drive, and a dirt/wood plank course that's around back, as well as hiking/biking trails through the woods.
There's a key code access, fenced in, dog park by the road, but there's also a free dog park that's around the back of Hawthorne park. This is also fully fenced in with a couple of picnicking tables. There's no gazebo, like the keypad access area, but it's a very secluded and beautiful dog run area. Just on the other side (west) of the wonderful bridge going over a really nice branch of the Rouge River.
