Mountain Biking Trails

Mountain bike trails are designated for non-motorized bicycles equipped for off-road use. Hikers may also use these trails, but they are not the intended primary user group for whom the trail is designed to accommodate. These trails are designed to meet the requirements of mountain bikes and their riders, protect resources, and achieve a durable and maintainable trail.
