Mountain biking is not permitted in the Park. Bicycling is permitted along Skyline Drive and on paved areas in the park. Bicycling (road and mountain bikes) is not permitted on trails, unpaved roads or in grassy areas. Because Skyline Drive is a two-lane road with steep hills and numerous blind curves, cyclists are urged to use extreme caution.
Lift Service Trails: If you are a more gravity oriented rider or want to try some downhill mountain biking for the first time there are two great resorts offering lift service mountain bike in the area. Massanutten Resort has the most elevation of the two local lift offerings and is about a 25 minute drive from downtown Harrisonburg. Bryce Resort, about a 40 minute drive from the City, has been providing lift service for it’s mountain bike trails for over a decade. What Bryce does not have in elevation it makes up for in it’s diversity of trails and wood features. There is a joint pass available if you would like to check out both offerings while in the area.
