nc triangle Mountain Bike Trails

1		Umstead State Park in Raleigh, North Carolina Most of the riding at Lake Umstead is for Beginner to Intermediate mountain bikers. The trails are shared with horses, so please yield to them if you're on a bicycle. The trails are pretty fast and can be as long...
1		Beaver Dam in Raleigh, North Carolina The trails are rated beginner to intermediate and include three loops: a 2.6-mile outer loop, a 1.6-mile inner loop, a 2.4-mile west loop and more advanced 6-mile loop called South Loop.
1		Southern Village in Chapel Hill, North Carolina A short singletrack loop, fast and fun in either direction. The only technical parts to watch out for going counterclockwise are a few roots at the start of the trail, one short steep rooty climb and a couple rocks to...
1		American Tobacco Trail in Durham, North Carolina This newly opened rails to trails project starts in downtown Durham and leads south to Jordan Lake. Well signed and minimal grades make this a leisurely ride for riders of all levels.
1		Forest Theater in Chapel Hill, North Carolina I haven't ridden these trails but if they are anything like Outdoor Rec., they are technical. Please add a review if you've been to these trails.
1		Durant Nature Park in Raleigh, North Carolina An abandoned Boy Scout camp provides a nice escape to the woods nestled in between neighborhoods and warehouses in north Raleigh. Lots of trails for hiking, but only 1.5 miles allow bikes. Most of the MTB trail is fast, wide...
1		NCSU Centenial Campus in Raleigh, North Carolina These trails are interconnected in the woods along the fire road. Several different trail types for all skill levels. Some great hills and technical sections around the old reservior. Check out the Kudzu trail - I highly reccommend it.
1		Chapel Hill High School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina These trails are usually pretty crowded and a bit overridden. Nevertheless, you probably won't find this much single track anywhere else in the Triangle. To get to my favorite section, enter from the school parking lot, go straight on the...
1		Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville, North Carolina Highland Trail Loops have three loops for mountain bikers. These trails may be short but both beginners and the more advanced rider can enjoy them. There are some good downhills and a lot of switchbacks for practicing technique. I have...
1		Duke Forest in Durham, North Carolina There is something for everyone at the Duke Forest. Most of the trails are frequently occupied by casual bikers, some extreme bikers, joggers and labrador retrievers. There are some singletrack which is restricted to foot traffic only. Otherwise, there are...
1		Hog Run/Harris Lake in New Hill, North Carolina I've heard these trails are fast and have little elevation change. I've been there twice but each time the trails were closed due to trail conditions (wet). These better be some pristine trails to be closed so often and seemingly...
1		Lake Johnson in Morrisville, North Carolina This is another trail that rides around the perimeter of a lake. This trail is only about roots, roots, and more roots. This trail can be rough on you back, wrists, etc. This trail, which is mostly singletrack, is a...
1		New Light Trails in Raleigh, North Carolina OPEN TO MOUNTAIN BIKERS ON SUNDAY ONLY. Since these trails are fairly new they are bumpy as can be. There are some of the best climbs in the Triangle area here at the New Light Trails. I'm sure it's a...
1		Outdoor Recreation Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina These trails are somewhat maintained and have an information sign at the trail head directing intermeadiate and advanced riders to appropriate trails. The day I rode these trails the trails were very choppy due to the trees that fell during...
