Mountain Bike Trails:


The five mile trail is extremely rugged and technical and is intended for riders with a high level of experience.  Very steep grades, streams, fallen trees, and other hazards are common.  The second trail is a loop around the peninsula in the 50 Springs Picnic Area. One mile of the trail has small rolling hills while the rest of the trail is relatively flat.  Most grades are fairly shallow.  This trail is intended for novices.

Mountain Biking Regulations:

  • Riders are encouraged to wear helmets at all times
  • Mountain biking is permitted only on the two designated mountain bike trails
  • Use extreme caution and know your own abilities.  When in doubt, dismount and walk your bike.
