Source review: 2026-10-21. A dated source review does not guarantee current-day conditions.
Bozeman, Montana · Up to 1 mile return · Compacted gravel main path; dry conditions only
Start: Urban Sourdough — Tuckerman Park, Tuckerman Park, Goldenstein Lane, Bozeman, MT. Land-trust partner expressly identifies the public south-end gravel lot. Join the signed urban Sourdough path without riding Goldenstein Lane; no dedicated accessible space is promised. Use designated ordinary visitor spaces, respect reserved spaces and walk through the lot to the signed main path. The address identifies a public facility, not a surveyed stall.
Ride: Follow the signed main path north along the urban creek path toward Gardner Park. Turn after 0.5 outward miles or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.
Distance: Chosen 1-mile maximum return, not the full regional corridor or a surveyed parking-to-parking distance. Earlier interfaces shorten the outing; parking walking is extra.
Permission and effort: Source-backed ordinary bicycle use on the designated improved main path; walking-only spurs and adjacent private property are excluded. Partner rates the urban route easy and describes a four-foot compacted path. This is qualitative and not a maximum-gradient or approach survey.
Planning: Choose daylight and obey posted gate / parking hours. No current ordinary access tariff established; posted terms govern. Event, camping and rental charges are separate. Yield to walkers and horses where present, keep right and announce passes. Obey posted speed, helmet and pet requirements. Ordinary pedal bicycles covered here; no blanket e-bike-class permission inferred.
Access reviewed October 20, 2026 Central (October 21 UTC): Fresh partner profile warns fall / spring mud. This is the urban path, not Sourdough Canyon / Bozeman Creek’s mountain route. Turn before soft tread or any uncomfortable transition. This is a dated source review, not a field inspection or current-day all-clear. Postpone for snow, ice, high water, soft tread or barriers rather than improvising a bypass.
Bring water and choose suitable weather. Parking walking is extra. No surveyed parking-space pin or navigable GPX is supplied.
