Biking

Mountain bike riding is permitted only on designated forest roads and trails. Riding is not permitted inside designated Wilderness areas and some "Front Country" trails.

Challenging routes can be found for all skill levels, but the more spectacular rides should be attempted by the experienced cyclist. Route information is available at each Ranger District.

Practice Good Stewardship of our Trails / Roadways:

You can help to take good care of our trails and roadways so that others may enjoy these areas for years to come by practicing some of the following actions:

Check in advance with the local Ranger Station for the latest trail and riding conditions.

Always announce your presence to others when you need to pass and yield to hikers and horseback riders.

Stay on the designated routes in order to help prevent erosion and habitat destruction.

Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle.

Do not operate your bike or cycle on unauthorized trails or roadways.

Safety While Biking:

Ride the appropriate bike for trail conditions.

Wear your protective gear, such as: helmets, pads, gloves, and reflective clothing.

Recognize changes in the weather and be prepared in advance.

Always carry water and other emergency items, should you get stranded on a trail.

Be courteous and remember that you are sharing the trail or roadway with other forest users, which may included motorized vehicles on designated OHV routes.

Enjoy your ride!
