Bradbury Mt State Park

Review: As a beginner this was a great place to spend 3 hours on the bike. There's two sides flanking route 9, the one with Bradbury Mountain and the parking/picnic area is generally crowded with hikers. The other side, across route 9 with the campground is more for the bikers. There's a mix of wide and singletrack that's within pretty much anyone's skill level I would think although there are a couple of challenging technical sections that I had to try more than once. Generally I would say it was fun and the trails are well marked. Good place to ride.

Review: Rode all the trails on the south half of the park. They were fun, flowed nicely, some challenging stuff to make it fun. The trails offered conditions for my beginner wife to ride and enjoy and for an adanced rider to have fun on. The bridges are great and the "O" trail is brutal what a fun challenge

Similar Trail: spots like Kingdom

Review: As everyone says, there are a great variety of trails here. Most trails in the Portland area seem to have a lot of roots. I don't find Bradbury worse than most, but maybe I just haven't found the right spots.

Review: Good variety of trails but just like everyone says, very rooty. I ride a low end guardrail so after a while I had to call it quits. Overall it's a great place though. Great technical bridges. Definitely worth going.

Review: Went today in early march. Knew it was going to be muddy and the lower side was. There is plenty of riding here, from flowy to absolute nar on the mountain. Good for XC or Enduro. I ride a specialized Enduro 650 b with 160 mm of travel and it more than satisfied me. Great ride if your in the area. Bring money for admissions and have a blast

Review: Rode the area today - people aren't kidding when they say there's a lot of erosion. A couple trails had an abundance of roots, not the fun kind, the kind where you're constantly battling, but some people might like that I suppose.

Anyways, the cool part about the park is there's a decent amount of variety, just need to find the right trail for you. Varies from beginner to intermediate/expert.

Review: Bradbury, or as some call it Rootbury, has been too abused the last few years. There are still some nice trails. But Stravatizing of corners and roots becoming unbearable on some trails is causing the system to lose its luster. That being said, I still ride it every week during the summer.

Review: Great selection of trail types. Challenging and fast, but not super technical.

Review: As a local Freeport rider, I'm not as impressed with the Bradbury trails as a lot of other riders on this site. Sure, you can get a decent amount of riding in a small area. However, IMO many of the trails are becoming more and more eroded as the years pass, due to the large number of riders that use them. Granted, they are still easily rideable, but many of the roots have become very dug out making less and less flow each year.

In the Portland area, I much prefer the trails in the Falmouth area (Blackstrap, Falmouth Community Forest, Hadlock etc). If you know where you're going, Falmouth probably has 50 miles of singletrack that can be connected with minimal road riding. Plus there is some pretty significant climbing and descending. Extremely fun trails, and you hardly see anyone.

Not knocking Bradbury, because there is some good riding there, I just don't think it's the best the Portland area has to offer.
