Red Flint is a short, flat out-and-back mountain biking route in Lowes Creek County Park, a county-managed land unit in Wisconsin. The ride lies within a cluster of biking trails, and it is a quick detour for anyone already exploring the park's network of mountain biking paths. The route is 0.36 miles long and sits almost entirely flat, with a high point of 886 feet and a low point of 867 feet. It is an easy addition to a ride, and the trail's gentle profile makes it a simple warm-up or a break between longer stretches of riding. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Eau Claire run from highs around 69°F in May to about 82°F in July, with September easing back to the low 70s. The trail sits right next to several other mountain biking routes, including Split Rock, Fern Gully and Far East, all about 0.1 mile away. For climbing, Mt. Simon lies about 5.8 miles off.
