Biking
Scenic carriage roads perfect for a family ride or wooded single track for the more adventerous riders
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.
We offer a full fleet of adult and children’s bikes from Kona, fatbikes from Reid, and comfort bikes from Schwinn, which are perfect for our carriage roads. All bike rentals include a bike pass and a helmet.
