Bicycles are a great way to get out and explore the forest.  Most biking opportunities in the Superior National Forest are along gravel surfaced forest roads, often a single lane with no shoulders.  Cyclists must be careful and alert for traffic including logging trucks. 

There are also singletrack mountain biking trail systems, multiple use trail systems, and paved bike touring trails.  Note that most of our trails are not designed for biking and unless specifically designated as a biking trail, bicycle use is discouraged.  Also note that most designated bike trails are shared with hikers and possibly other non-motorized uses such as in-line skating.

When planning a bike trip, cyclists should be aware that many roads in the area are named ‘Trail’.  Some of these ‘trails’ are actually high speed two lane paved roads with no shoulders which may not be suitable for all cyclists.

E-Bikes

The Forest Service classifies e-bikes as motorized vehicles. Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes are allowed on open motorized trails and roads on the Superior National Forest. E-bikes are not allowed on non-motorized trails.

Fat Tire Bikes

Fat tire bikes are becoming increasingly popular on the trails of the Superior National Forest. It’s a great way to continue riding when conditions don’t favor traditional bikes. Fat tire bikes are one of several trail users along with winter hikers, snowshoers, cross country skiers and snowmobiles. It’s important to keep safety and trail etiquette in mind when riding and to know where you can and cannot ride.
