Bradbury Mountain State Park has over 24 miles of shared use trails (hikers, runners, bikers, horse riders, snow shoers, and snowmobiles). The park features over 14 miles of single track trails designed by and for mountain bikers. Most of these trails are located on the east side of Route 9. All bike trails begin at the upper parking lot kiosk. Trails are groomed for mountain bikes in winter when snow depth allows.
O Trail (2.4 miles loop, advanced): The most technical single track trail is the "O" trail. This 2.4 mile loop is fairly flat has some hairpin turns, goes through a rock garden and challenging all to keep upright on their bike.
Lanzo Trail (1.6 miles, moderate): The 1.6 mile Lanzo Trail traverses through a mixed growth forest and is fairly level. There are a few sharp turns, a couple of bridges to cross but generally allows for good flow when riding along this single track.
Ragan Trail (0.7 mile, moderate): The rider then can cross over to the Ragan Trail, a 0.7 mile trail, fairly flat single track that passes though a hardwood forest. There is a challenging bridge for those not afraid of heights, but also an alternative route around this obstacle.
Ginn Trail (2.6 miles, moderate): The Ginn Trail is a 2.6 mile trail that follows through a mixed growth forest. There are several small bridges, skinnies and a small climb along this trail.
Fox East and West (2.6 mile loop, advanced): Fox East and West is a 2.6 mile loop through a 150 acre parcel generously donated by the Spiegal Family. This loop has several bridges, some small ascents and descents, skinnies, many bridges and a few obstacles along the way. The East trail is more challenging than the west.
Knight Woods (1 mile, easy): For those bikers less experienced, there are several double track trails that are less challenging and more family friendly. The 1 mile Knight Woods Trail on the east side of Route 9, is a 6' wide trail less traveled by the hiker with several interpretive panels along the way providing a brief history of the area.
Northern Loop (1 mile, easy): On the west side of Route 9, the 1 mile Northern Loop provides a gradual ascent to the summit of Bradbury.
Tote Road (1 mile loop, easy): From the Summit, the Tote Road Trail is a 1 mile loop within the interior of the park through a softwood forest. These trails are used much more frequently by all users, so please use proper etiquette when meeting these other visitors.
