SUMMER RATES & HOURS
Summer Fun at Catamount Outdoor Family Center
Our trail network offers biking fun for all abilities, with Day, Seasonal, and Annual Memberships for riding.
Pedestrian use (walking, hiking, and running) is free, but trail maintenance and upgrades are expensive.
We encourage pedestrian visitors to support our non-profit work through Supporting Memberships and donations.
Please review our Trail Mantras:
If you are leaving a track in the mud/ground, please turn back.
For the sake of all trail users please be patient during freeze thaw cycles or during “mud seasons”. Thank you for helping us steward these trails.

We’re proud to offer a fresh fleet of 2025 Scott bikes, handpicked to match the diverse terrain at Catamount. Our bikes are high-quality, well-maintained, and ready for adventure.
Our fleet includes around 15 bikes at any given time, with a range of sizes available. However, due to limited quantity, we are not able to accommodate large groups or groups needing the same size, such as 10 adults all requiring medium bikes. Our rental program is best suited for small groups of 2–5 riders.

Mountain Biking
Catamount has been a mountain biking pioneer since the 1980’s, built one of the first adaptive trails in the US in the 1990’s, hosts the longest running bike race series in the country which started in 1989 and has taught thousands of kids of all ages to bike better through our summer camps, clinics, clubs and lessons. We continue build our community and improve the trail network.
Enjoy 20+ miles of riding, including adaptive-accessible routes, gravel paths, singletrack, and two pump tracks with features for all abilities. Test your skills in our advanced bike park with jump lines, a rock spine, and a dual slalom course. Check out our Weekly MTB Race Series every Wednesday this summer!
