Description
The Boyce Park – Indian Hill, Boyce Park loop from Evergreen Park is one of those routes that demands a specific kind of bike and rider. While listed as a racebike route, this difficult 46.5-mile (74.8 km) journey with a substantial 4467 feet (1361 metres) of elevation gain, taking around 4 hours and 20 minutes, is far better suited for a gravel or mountain bike than a traditional road bike. If you're looking for a challenging mixed-terrain adventure with significant climbing, this could be your next big day out.
What to expect on Boyce Park – Indian Hill, Boyce Park loop from Evergreen Park
Expect a journey through dense deciduous woodlands, with the terrain frequently shifting under your wheels. While some paved sections might exist, the route predominantly features singletrack and gravel trails, often riddled with roots and rocks. This makes for a physically demanding ride, especially on sections like those leading to Indian Hill, Allegheny County's highest public point, which offers unique scenic views of the surrounding landscape. Many trails within Boyce Park are rated with a "Blue" difficulty for mountain biking, and specific singletrack sections can be "Hard," so be prepared for a workout and technical riding.
Planning your visit
Boyce Park is a popular destination, particularly for mountain bikers, and is even used for XC races. While the route description mentions starting from "Evergreen Park," specific parking details for a road cycling loop from this point were not readily available in our research, so plan to confirm access before you go. Given the challenging and unpaved nature of many segments, road cyclists should proceed with caution or, ideally, opt for a bike better suited to mixed terrain. Always carry enough water, especially during warmer months, as the extensive trail network means you might be out for a while.
