The hand-built trails stand as a premier destination for mountain bikers from all over the northeast and beyond and offer a challenging and enjoyable riding experience for riders of all skill levels.

Ascutney Trails
This is their original and largest public mountain biking network, and can be accessed from both the Ascutney Outdoors Center and Town Forest trailheads. This network consists of about 35 miles of trails for non-motorized recreational use, located at the base and western flank of Mt. Ascutney. Below are some suggested loops and notes as to what’ll find out on the trails. A note to the stronger rider: you can access each of the following areas from either trailhead and make a day of it, traversing across the mountainside and back. Good times!
