Mountain Biking
Legendary bike trails for all level of riders can be found at Whitefish Mountain Resort partially located on the Flathead National Forest. The Summit Trail can be accessed by chair lift or ride up to the summit of Big Mountain and enjoy spectacular views of Glacier National Park and Flathead Valley then descend down to the village. There is also the Run Away Train Trail for more advanced riders who like the "Free Ride" design. The Resort also offers numerous trails in the village area to test your ability to navigate features and provide variety and challenges. For trail maps visit the Whitefish Mountain Resort's website.
Each District has trails open to mountain biking. To find where to ride, check the District's map which will show trail locations, trailheads, and what that type of use is allowed on each trail. These maps are available at all District Offices and at the Forest Supervisor's Office.
