Description

The Bacon Hill mountain bike trails, opened in 2017, are fun and flowy mountain bike trails located in Albany Township just six miles south of Bethel village. The trails are free and open to the public.

Little Bacon Hill, an intermediate level loop, is just under two miles. The multi-feature Playground offers an opportunity for riders to develop their skills. The Big Bacon Hill loop, which leaves from the Playground, meets up with a woods road, then loops back to the Little Bacon Hill trail. Please note that Little Bacon Hill is a one-way trail, ridden clockwise; Big Bacon Hill may be ridden in either direction.

Other Information

The landowners have graciously allowed development these trails on their private land; please act just as graciously with your respect for the land.

Trail Tips

Plan Ahead and Prepare
Avoid hypothermia, even in warm weather, by limiting your sweat and exposure to cold water. Bring warm and dry clothes in case the shivers set in.
