Where to find mountain bike trails




















Afterall, trail biking is all about embracing the wild side. And the wild side is never a clean white shirt. To make the most out of every mountain bike trail excursion, bring plenty of water, strap on a suitable mtb helmet, make sure your brakes are in good working order and pack your multi-tool in case anything goes wrong. Then all you have to do is pick your route and go. Sign up or log in. Mountain biking trails. Photo: Emmie Collinge.

Filter by Region Category. Tearing down the open mountainside over rock slabs and a ribbon of singletrack which changes taste once it reaches the woods, becoming filled with flow and features. Once ridden, never forgotten! A rollercoaster of rises and falls that will have you hooked before spitting you out right by the van.

A true Colorado Classic. The dramatic scenery and weather make a mythical environment which contains plenty of challenging trails which are tough and technical. Our personal favourite is Achnashellach in the heart of the Torridon mountains.

A true test of bike and rider alike. This is also only the first descent of the day! You can expect Slovenia to rocket into the media when the EWS visits later this summer and for good reason. The trail atop our list starts on the fringes of the Italian border.

Now, get ready for action. In front of you lie 15km of diverse trail taking you from the alpine pastures with grazing cattle, into the trees which switch from your classic evergreen Alpine forest, into the orange hues of the beech woods, floating through loam and hero dirt before some tricky limestone outcrops appear just to add that little bit of extra zest to your day! Our favourite trail in Morocco arrives on day 3 and takes us over the breathtaking Tizi Mezzik Pass at 2,m, from Imlil to Ouirgane.

There is only a pencil-thin line of singletrack that slices its way across the hillside, before peeling down the valley through villages that appear to be stuck to the side of the mountains. North Dakota. Alum Creek State Park.

Chestnut Ridge Metro Park. Mohican State Park. Sandy Ridge Trail System. Willamette National Forest. Government Camp Trail System. Rothrock State Forest. North Park. Trails at Jakes Rocks.

Wissahickon Valley Park. Rhode Island. South Carolina. Myrtle Beach. Paris Mountain State Park. South Dakota. Baker Creek Preserve. Raccoon Mountain. Knoxville Urban Wilderness. Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Big Bend Ranch State Park. Franklin Mountains State Park. La Sal Mountains. Magnificent 7.

Martin Peak. Galbraith Mountain. Tiger Mountain State Forest. Mount St. Helens National Monument. Cold Creek Trails. Washington, DC. West Virginia. While the good old fashioned OS map can often give you a reasonable starting point for seeking out riding - bridleways and other paths are marked, so are big green woodlands that might be full of delights - once again technology is here to help. There are loads of mapping apps out there that also feature routes in them - Komoot, OS Maps and Viewranger, are our favourites.

They allow you to check out an area and see if there are any complete routes you can then follow, all in GPS guided comfort. You can also use the web interface to plan rides and export them to your GPS unit. There's also Trailforks , which despite being run by a certain other mountain bike website, is actually really bloody good when it comes to having a database of natural and built trails, right across the world.

We have a collection of favourite routes on our komoot profile too for you to check out and follow. It offers something a bit different to the other options out there, with a lot of curated content, and a more sophisticated routing engine. It'll appeal more to those who mix road with gravel and mountain biking. Currently, we have a competition running with komoot to pick our favourite UK routes.

We have three to give away. All the details are here. Okay, so we've mentioned apps, but ride tracking app Strava is a pretty useful tool to find new riding areas and trails, regardless of whether you want to wave your whatever in search of ever faster times. The really useful bit is the segment search function, that allows you to zoom in on an area and see what segments there are there. Of course, many people prefer to keep the interesting stuff off Strava - but as the US military found out, Strava doesn't care about that and it still turns up on the Heatmap unless you opt out.

That means potential poachers can still track down interesting riding areas, just be aware that you're probably not wanted there.
