    Mountain Biking

    Parks | Visit | Activities
    Share This

    Cleveland Metroparks has four designated natural surface mountain bike trails that are shared use with hikers. Mountain Biking is not permitted within the park from one-half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise or when the trail is closed.

    Before riding, please check the trail conditions.

    Riding on wet trails can have a negative impact on the trails potentially causing ruts that would take hours upon hours to repair. In order to be good stewards of the land and have trails that are enjoyable to ride all season, please help us by not riding when trail conditions are unsuitable.

    In addition to the natural surface trails, Mountain bikes are permitted on roadways, the over 100 miles of shared-use, paved, all purpose trails, and other paths designated for use of bicycles. Mountain bikes or any bike are not permitted on hiking or bridle trails unless it is part of one of the mountain biking trails listed below: Bedford Single Track, Royalview Trail, or Ohio & Erie Canal Trail. The Traffic Code is applicable whenever a bicycle is operated.

    Outdoor Recreation offers a series of cycling programs ranging from introductory try-it sessions and skills classes to races.

    Custom programs available.
