Biking

Cycling is a great way to travel through the forest, see nature and get those legs and heart pumping. There are many trails that are great for mountain biking, places for road cycling and the nearby "Route of the Hiawatha" is a uniquely educational, historic and beautiful bike route that is a must for cycling enthusiasts.

The Route of the Hiawatha begins on the Superior Ranger District, then enters the dramatic 1.7 mile long Taft tunnel and emerges into Idaho. The Idaho Panhandle National Forests manages this trail.

E-Biking

Electric bikes (E-bikes) are welcome anywhere motorized traffic — such as cars, ATVs, or motorcycles — is allowed. Get a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) at a National Forest office to find opportunities.

Where are e-bikes not allowed?

• E-bikes are prohibited on any non-motorized trails and roads that are closed to motorized use.
• E-bikes are prohibited off designated trails or roads.
• Bicycles and e-bikes are prohibited in designated Wilderness areas.

Mountain Biking

There are miles of roads and trails that are available for mountain bike use. Visitors may use any of these routes year round. There are no permits, fees, or registration required for individuals and small groups.

Most Forest hiking trails and roads are open to mountain bikes. However, many trails were not designed for biking. We suggest you contact the ranger district where you are interested in riding for specific trail information and advice.

Road Cycling

Road cycling is a great way to get around the forest and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
