The carriage roads at Great Glen Trails are the perfect place to bring the entire family for a bike ride. Our smooth and well-marked carriage roads let you explore the forest and take in the mountain views. Your family will pedal through beautiful meadows, pass scenic rivers and see stunning mountain vistas. We offer rentals for adults and kids. Go at your own pace. Bring a picnic lunch. Take this time to break away and relax—with the whole family.

Please note that during our Summer Bike Race Series the trail system will be closed to public biking on Tuesday afternoons at 3:30 pm.  (July 8 - August 26) Come and enjoy the trails until 3:30 pm then consider joining  the racing action.


Advanced Riding
Looking to get dirty? Cruise through the woods on our web of single-track trails throughout the system. Long loops and technical challenges are all waiting. And, with trail names like Outback and Whiplash along with our famous Plunge, Great Glen Trails is the place to test your mettle.

Skills Park

Improve your skills. Or strut your stuff. Our Skills Park is waiting. Located less than a kilometer from our base lodge, the Skills Park will test your riding on double fall line corners, riding rocks, sand, logs, and other man made elements. Try it for time,
 
or ride the toughest line as smoothly as possible. Or, if you’re planning to compete in the 24 Hours of Great Glen, get ready, because this will be part of the course.

Instruction
Great Glen offers personalized mountain bike lessons that can bring your riding techniques to a new level. There are many areas we can cover, like how to ride with suspension and improving your riding transitions (hills and corners). Develop your skills for climbing and descending single track, and learn about fitness and training techniques that will help you to be physically and mentally prepared for long or short rides.
