The Star Hill Trail Committee has been working with the City of Heath and a local professional trail builder to make improvements throughout the trail system at Forry Preserve. As these enhancements continue, please expect changes to trail features, flow, and routing.

If you're heading out for a ride, please pre-ride before increasing your speed and pay close attention to any changes. Even if you've ridden these trails hundreds of times, conditions and features may be different than you remember. Ride within your ability and use caution.

A reminder that it is against City of Heath ordinances to modify trails, build new features, or reopen old trails that have been closed. These rules help protect the preserve, ensure rider safety, and allow us to maintain a sustainable trail system for everyone.

If you have questions, concerns, or ideas—or if you'd like to volunteer and help maintain or improve the trails—please send us a message here on Facebook. We always appreciate community involvement and want to keep making Star Hill and Forry Preserve the best they can be.

Thanks for doing your part and enjoy the trails!

Hello everyone,

Just a quick reminder to please use discretion when changing at the Heath High School parking lot. Earlier today, the police were called because an individual was seen changing in only a towel. My understanding is that this was the second time this individual had been notified about this behavior.

We’ve been granted permission by the school to park there for trail access, but given that it’s a school property and surrounded by homes, it’s important that we continue to be good partners and respectful neighbors. Whenever possible, please change inside your vehicle rather than outside.

As a fellow mountain biker, I understand this can be inconvenient, but maintaining a positive relationship with the school and the community is essential for keeping this privilege.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

any volunteers with a good chainsaw? the picture on the left is just a real big branch hanging down, but you better pay close attention because it could really come down on you . its back at the farthest corners of the place from the school. the other is the top half of a really big tree , its the wide trail that paralles the river . good idea to take two people for these jobs

I haven’t seen any big trees across the trail. that doesn’t mean there isn’t any but I have seen hundreds of branches if any your local riders want to come up and volunteer pick up a few sticks m

All 2024 Funduro Stages have been added or updated on Strava except for Stage 7.

2023 segments whose routes were unchanged received an updated 2024 name on Strava. 2023 segments that were changed for 2024 were left alone and remain on Strava.

A group of us are pre-riding the Star Hill Funduro segments tomorrow at 11am if anyone is up interested in seeing the race lines before they are taped next Friday.

Meet at the Heath High School parking lot, 300 Licking View Drive. We park on the left hand side as you enter the lot.

Changes were made on what’s been known as jawbreaker .. if you are use to going fast down it, you better pull up hard and super send it because now it’s a gap, or slow down and ride through it, else you will end up on your head

Exciting things happening at Star Hill!

1. New trail is named Bob Gnarly and is looking gnarly as ever. Very fast doubles, tables and rock drops! We couldn’t be happier with the work being done by Innovative Dirt Solutions!

2. CAUTION: Under normal conditions, riding the trail while being built is good because it allows us to fine tune the trail along the way. However, please stay off the new trail after heavy rain. The trail needs time to settle in and this creates costly repairs and slows development.

We are targeting a completion date of June 30, weather permitting. Our goal is to include this as a segment in the Funduro race on 7/21. Please help us by spreading the word for those who aren’t part of our social media platforms.

Thanks!
