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!
