Whitetail Ridge is a mountain biking spot in Kentucky, about 0.7 miles from the town of Rossford. It is a short ride of 0.13 miles, with a total climb of 24 feet from a low point of 710 feet to a high of 750 feet. The route is so brief that it works well as a quick stop or as part of a longer outing on the nearby trail network. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cincinnati put May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, with September the driest month of the year. PawPaw Path and Osage Trail both start about 0.1 mile away, and Torrence Road is 1.6 miles off across the state line in Ohio. Banklick Creek, a paddling spot about 9 miles away, rounds out the options for a longer trip.
