Biking

Although most areas in the Forest are open to biking, there are a few places where you cannot ride. Bikes are not permitted within the Wilderness Areas, or in areas specifically signed as off-limits to bikes. If you plan to strike out on your own to explore with your bike, it would be wise to buy a National Forest map. Please respect the rights of private landowners and always ask permission before you ride on their land.

Many areas suitable for mountain biking are not maintained. Loose rocks, ruts, limbs and logs across routes, steep dropoffs, and other hazards are part of the sport of mountain biking.

• Please ride according to current conditions, be sure your speed is appropriate.
• Wear protective gear: helmet, gloves and sturdy shoes.
• Stay alert! Be aware of hikers, other riders and livestock along trails.
• Don't hesitate to dismount and walk when you are unsure of route conditions ahead of you.
• Bring water, food, sunscreen and a basic toolkit.
• Ride with a buddy.
