Description: There are several loop options with some blacktop used to link them. The one my son and I like the best is their 21 mile loop. It has a few very technical spots, but the majority of the trail system is awesome singletrack. The map is a bit difficult to make out at first because there are no trail names, just numbers. They do list the trails according to beginner, advanced or expert. You can make sooo many different loops you can ride all day and not feel like you hit any trail twice. The 21 mile loop puts you on nearly every trail in the park, (nearly). Also, check out Coopers Rock State Park just west of here toward Morgantown. Great riding there as well.

trails are great single track with alot of variety climbing and decending. Some very technical stuff and some very fast stuff. I love the place.

Rode here back in 9/09 and 9/10. On both rides we rode mostly on the race course. Didn't find it overly technical, but you can find rock gardens to keep you challenged. Great ride to just get out and rack up miles. LOVE the pine tree grove, so much fun. As you would expect, you do get in some grinding climbs. Makes for a beautiful epic ride.

Hey just to let everyone know that Big Bear is closed to mountain biking from October through December. Usually reopens in January.

New trails found in Big Bear. These are not on the map but if you like technical stuff and sweet singletrack lumped together you'll love 'em. You can find the first one right behind the Maintenance Building on the right behind the parking lot about 150 yards in from the gate. Park here and ride to the left of the Maintenance building. As you start down this grade there is a old road / trail to your right. About 50 yards into that trail you will see a trail cross, go left onto singletrack. This newer short trail will dump you out below the dam. When you come into the field just ride straight ahead, down across the creek and up the other side along the wood line. You will see the sign "Voo Doo Rocks trail approved by the WV Nightclub". It's awesome... and not on the map. If will bring you out in about 6 or 7 miles at the #40 on the Big Bear map. Then just add some more trails to make a great loop.
Similar Trail: Don't forget Quebec Run just north of Bruceton Mills, in PA or Coopers Rock just a few mile east of Big Bear.

This trail is perfect for me, it has some tough climbs which rewards you with sweet downhill...I also love the pine forest section, it's like your in a different world carving tightly around trees which are in perfect rows.

Have ridden the trail at Big Bear Lake a couple times in the last month or so and enjoyed the 24hr race held there in June. The trails are in great shape, some minor reroutes around some of the bad mud holes.
Similar Trail: Coopers Rock and Quebec Run in Forbes State Forest just north of Bruceton Mills just into PA.
