Review: I rode here for the first time this evening in one of the junior races. It was a great time! It was my first race and it was a lot of fun! The trails were very well taken care of and were fairly challenging. Definitely worth the small fee and I would recommend the trail to a friend!

Similar Trail: Dyer Hutchinson Farm trail in Cape Elisabeth. Right off of Sawyer Road.

Review: Im a regular at bradbury, riding it 3-4 times a month and i still dont get sick of the trails. There are so many options when riding bradbury, if your sick of the same loops, just turn around and ride them the other way, Favorite trail is definitely the boundary trail from the top of the mtn down, Super knarly if your on an XC bike, steep, rocky and rooty just stay to the left and go with the flow.

Review: Found these trails when visiting family outside of Portland. I was stunned with how well maintained they were and what a great job they trail builders had done including manmade and natural features. While many other groups use the trails this is clearly a biking park. The west side of the park has a couple great climbs and downhills while the east side has tons of very well kept single track.

Review: Bradbury is one of the best places in the state to ride. LBS adopted trails that are meticulously maintained and see quite a bit of traffic. There are two sections to the network; the Mountain side (east side), and the West Side (section across the road). I prefer the west side as the mountain side sees more hikers, trail runners, and overall foot traffic. There are several options on this side ranging from the gentle Knights Woods trail (an easy green with only one section of climbing) to the very challenging "O" trail. (rated a single black diamond) Not a whole lot of climbing in the network. Fairly flat but a great place to work on basic riding skills. Some man-made bridges along with the occasional skinny thrown in. (You can opt to ride around them if you want) The scenery is great and certain trails will have you riding over a bog, through some gorgeous section of fern, and through some pretty sweet birch stands. One of my favorite places to ride in New England. A word of caution...the west side trails also accommodate horses. (they stick to the Knights Woods loop and the snowmobile loop)

Review: I just visited Maine for the first time in the summer and had heard about the trails at Bradbury. I was pleased with the range of difficulty, the speed of the trails and all the manmade features that insured an interesting ride. This trail is really well kept. The “O” trail is one of the more challenging trail in the network and it’s not because of some steep climb, or a hellish decent. It is however, a two and a half mile technical track knotted in about half a square mile area with hundreds of switch backs, ups and downs and technical rocky bits. The best way to get through the “O” trail is just stay on the path in front of you, cheating just gets you lost. The rest of the trails are plenty of fun, “The Boundary” trail is one of the more challenging trails with plenty of gnarly drop offs steep descents, rock faces, roots, roots and more roots. The trails are marked really well, with numbers at every intersection and if you have a map with you, it is pretty easy to navigate the network. The weekends get pretty busy, just watch out for the family hikers, but I never had an issue with too much traffic. Over all I had a great ride and went back a second time during the weekend stay I was in town.

Review: Great Single track, fort any level riders. The trail maps have improved and are posted at almost every trail intersection, so give it a shot, you will love it. There are some narrow single track trail that are easy to miss so keep your eyes open and have a blast.

Review: There are 30 miles of amazing trails from the difficult to the easy to ride. All trails are well marked and maintained. Although you can get lost and the trail maps dont do a thing. There are great bridge sections that can really test your skills. I recommend these trails to anyone who loves to mountain bike.

Review: Great riding. My favorite in the area for sure. Lots of fun singletrack with good flow. In the last few years the park crew has done a TON of trail maintenance. Unlike most state parks, these guys tend to cater to mountain bikers, rather than shun them. Best riding is across the street from the mountain. If you can, try to go with someone who knows the trails your first time, because as someone else said the trail maps arent very helpful.

Review: Lots of good singletrack that's actually designed for mountain biking across the road from the parking lot and main entrance. It's easy to get lost and the maps at the park are useless so just be prepared to wander. Overall an awesome place, I go at least once a week.

Review: This place is a lot of fun, has a pretty good mixture of different types of riding from easy to hard. I like to park down by the church at the corner of Rt. 9, this way you can ride the loop across from the main entrance on your way up the mtn. and back. But dont forget to stop by the main entrance and make a donation for using the trails!!! They do a good job maintaining this place, and I want it to stay open to bikes and everyone for a long time!
